The Impact of Kaleidoscope and Distraction Cards on Pain Level During Blood Drawing in Children

Abstract

Aim: This study is designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to investigate the impact of kaleidoscope and distraction cards on the pain level of child patients during blood drawing procedure. Method: The population of the study was composed of children between the ages of 7-12 years who came to the pediatric blood drawing department of Alanya Training and Research Hospital between August 01, 2022 and November 15, 2022. The study sample included a total of ‘57’ children who met the criteria of the study, who came to the pediatric blood drawing department, who volunteered to take part in the study, and who were randomly selected from among the children between the ages of 7 and 12 years old with the consent of their parents as 28 study (separate kaleidoscope group and attention diversion cards were administered) and 19 control (no kaleidoscope or attention diversion card was administered) groups. The data were obtained by using the “Descriptive Information Form”, “Visual Equivalence Scale (VAS)”, and “Wong Baker Rating Scale for Facial Expressions”. During blood drawing from the children in the study group, kaleidoscope and distraction cards were used. In the control group, standard blood drawing procedure was used without any intervention. Moreover, mean, percentage, chi-square, t-test, t-test in dependent and independent groups were used to analyze the data. Results: It was found that the use of distraction cards and kaleidoscope significantly reduced the level of pain (p<0.05), and the pain levels of the individuals in the groups in which kaleidoscope and/or distraction cards were used were lower than the control group in reducing the pain that occurred during venous blood sampling in pediatric patients aged 7-12 years. It was determined that the highest decrease in pain score was realized in the kaleidoscope, distraction cards and control groups, respectively. Conclusion: It was found that the use of kaleidoscope and distraction cards were efficient in pain management in blood drawing attempts in children. It was also found that pain scores decreased as the age of the children increased.
