- Brief Summary
Summary Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the use of Bee Buzzy, external vibrating cold application, and the use of puppets on pain and fear in children aged 3 to 6 years during phlebotomy.
Method: This study is a randomized controlled trial. The study was conducted with 105 children aged 3-6 years who came to the pediatric phlebotomy unit of a university hospital. The sample of children (n=105) was divided into groups (group 1, Bee Buzzy; group 2, puppet; group 3, control) by block randomization. Children's pain and fear scores were evaluated using the Wong-Baker Pain Scale and Child Fear Scale, as well as the investigator's report, after phlebotomy, their parents, and the nurse who attempted phlebotomy.

Group Intervention Description Bee Buzzy Implementation of Bee Buzzy Bee Buzzy Group: Bee Buzzy was attached to the 3-6-year-old child included in this group by the researcher on the arm of the nurse to perform the phlebotomy procedure. Bee Buzzy reduces pain thanks to its cold wings and vibration. It helps to distract attention during phlebotomy and reduces the feeling of pain and fear. Bee Buzzy was tied 5 cm above the area from which blood will be drawn, and after waiting for 15 seconds, the nurse performed a phlebotomy. Puppet Zuzu Implementation of Puppet Zuzu While the nurse was going to perform the phlebotomy operation on the 3-6-year-old child included in this group, one of the researchers (no. 2) tried to distract the child by putting the puppet on her hand and making her talk. The puppet used is an easy-to-use and hand-held puppet that will not cause fear in children. The puppet was named 'Zuzu' by researchers.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Statistical difference between groups about pain scores During the procedure, approximately 5-10 minutes Implementation of interventions aimed at reducing pain in experimental groups. Wong-Baker Facial Pain Rating Scale: The Facial Expression Rating Scale is a scale that includes 6 facial expressions and provides a rating between 0-10. This scale, which does not require words, is a reliable and valid measurement tool in the assessment of acute pain. A score of 0 indicates no pain and a score of 10 indicates the highest level of pain. In the scale, it means that as the pain score increases, the pain also increases.
Statistical difference between groups about fear scores During the procedure, approximately 5-10 minutes Implementation of interventions aimed at reducing fear in experimental groups. Children's Fear Scale: This scale includes 5 different facial expressions. This scale is scored between 0-4 and it is stated to be a reliable and valid measurement tool in the evaluation of fear. This scale does not require words. A score of 0 indicates no fear and a score of 4 indicates the highest level of fear. In the scale, it means that as the fear score increases, the fear also increases.
