简要总结
Although the effectiveness of maternal kisses for minor injuries in childhood is traditionally accepted, its effect on invasive procedures has not yet been proven. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of maternal kisses applied to children aged 5-7 years on pain, anxiety, and fear levels during invasive procedures. The population of the pretest-posttest single-blind randomized controlled experimental study consisted of 124 children aged 5-7 years who applied to the pediatric gastroenterology clinic , and the sample consisted of 84 children. A stratified block randomization method was used in the study. The maternal kisses were applied to the experimental group during the invasive procedure, and the standard invasive procedure was applied to the control group. The effect of maternal kisses' on reducing pain, anxiety, and fear in children during invasive procedures is being investigated.

盲法说明
Stratified block randomisation method was used to assign the participants to the intervention and control groups. To prevent bias, randomisation was performed by an unbiased nurse who was not involved in the study. In order to control the imbalances that may arise between the intervention and control groups, stratification (2X2) was made according to gender (girls, boys) and age (5,6,7) and an equal number of children were assigned to each group (blocking). Assignments were made according to a list generated by an online randomisation tool. All participants completed the study process and there was no case loss. The parents of the children who participated in the study were unaware of which group their children were in. Since the applications were carried out by the researcher, researcher blinding could not be performed. Therefore, the study is single blind.

结局指标
主要结局
Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale
时间窗: 5th minute
Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale: There are 6 different facial expressions scored between 0 and 5 on the scale. A smiling face means no pain, a crying face means unbearable pain. Explain the meaning of facial expressions to the child. Then, they are asked to show the face that best expresses the level of pain when asked. The number on the facial expression specified by the child is recorded. As the score obtained from the scale increases, pain tolerance decreases.
