Brief Summary:
This thesis study was conducted in an unblinded, randomized controlled experimental manner in order to analyze the effect of attention-drawing methods that can be used during intramuscular injection in children on pain and anxiety.
Detailed Description:
Data were collected in the Pediatric Emergency Injection Unit of Mersin City Training and Research Hospital between October and December 2021. Children aged 6-12 years were included in the study. In the study, the sample was divided into four groups. The study consisted of 180 children, 45 children in each group. Using the randomization program, it was determined which sample group the children would be included in.
In the study, video game playing, kaleidoscope and virtual reality glasses were used as a distraction method for the experimental group. Intramuscular injection (IM) was applied to the control group without any application. The research implementation period lasted an average of one minute. Required ethical permissions were obtained prior to the research. Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale (WBFPRS) was used to measure pain level and Child Fear Scale (CFS) was used to measure anxiety level in the study. Explanatory information about the application to be made to the children and their parents was given by the researcher, and the consent form was signed by informing them voluntarily. The research data were collected by the researcher by interviewing the children face to face. In line with the data obtained in the study, it was concluded that the descriptive characteristics of the children in the experimental and control groups were similar (p\>0.05). It was concluded that playing video games, kaleidoscope, and virtual reality glasses, among the distraction methods applied in the study, reduced pain and anxiety. It is expected that techniques that reduce pain and anxiety when intramuscular injections are given to children in nursing practices will be used in practice and that these practices will be included in the training of nurses.
