Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the watching video method applied to children during vaccine injection on pain level and physiologic parameters. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 60 children who agreed to participate in the study as a result of the power analysis and met the inclusion criteria. Personal Information Form, FLACC Pain Scale and Physiological Parameter Assessment Form were used to collect the data. Results: When the pain level of the children was evaluated, it was determined that the FLACC Pain Scale scores of the children in the watching video group during and after the procedure were significantly lower than the children in the control group (p<0.001). When the physiologic parameter results were examined, it was determined that the heart rate values of the children in the intervention group were significantly higher than the control group after the procedure (p<0.05), and the oxygen saturation values of the children in the control group decreased significantly after the procedure compared to before the procedure (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was observed that the watching video method applied to children as a distraction method during vaccine injection was effective in reducing the level of pain. In line with these results, it is recommended to use video distraction method in order to decrease the pain level and positively affect the oxygen saturation values of children receiving vaccine injection.
