The impact of different methods of distraction on pain of venipuncture: a case study in children 6-3 years old

Children become irritable, restless, and excited in response to excruciating pain. Most children anticipate the pain caused by the injection and are prevented from doing so by non-adaptive anxious behaviors prior to the injection, so the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different methods of thinking on the pain caused by venous thrombosis. In children 6-3 years old.

This quasi-experimental study was performed on 110 children admitted to the pediatric ward of Peymaniyeh Hospital in Jahrom city by available and random sampling method. The data collection tools in this study included three demographic information questionnaires, children's behavioral pain scale and numerical pain measurement scale. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 21 and descriptive and inferential statistical tests.

Comparison of research groups in terms of scale of behavioral pain analysis using test Mann Whitney showed that there was a significant difference between all groups of musical balls, inflating balloons, in the mother's arms, the musical ball + the mother's arms, and controlling (p-value <0.05). The "control" group had the highest and the "musical ball + mother embrace" group had the lowest average pain behavior and pain measurement.  

Implementing a mindfulness program has reduced the pain caused by sprains in children. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the effects of destructive and stressful procedures in children who experience a lot of pain during painful procedures when diagnosing, treating and controlling their disease with various deviant methods.
