About this study

Official title: The Effectiveness of Art Therapy on Reducing Pain and Anxiety in Children Receiving Venipuncture in a Pediatric Department: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Venipuncture is one of the most common stressful procedures in children. Managing pain and fear of venipuncture procedure recommended strongly because it may change children's memory for procedural pain and the subsequent acceptance of later health care painful interventions. Prior painful experiences can reduce the acceptance of later health care, hence making it more difficult for both patients and nurses.

There was clear evidence that the distraction method is the most performed as a psychological technique performed to decrease venipuncture-related pain and distress and supporting its efficacy in children.

The aim of this study to investigate the effectiveness of TICK-B on children's pain and anxiety during venipuncture procedure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain Intensity Measure

    Wong-Baker faces scale (WBFS). Used to measure the pain severity during the procedure, the WB-FBRS is a series of six cartoon faces positioned side-by-side from the greatest pain to the mildest one (0-5).

    Measured: Immediately after venipuncture (1-2 min)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Fear Measure

    The Childrens Fear Scale (CFS) is used to assess children's fear or anxiety levels. The one-item scale consists of five sex neutral faces arranged from left to right with no fear in the center, through fear out to extreme fear.

    Measured: Immediately after venipuncture (1-2 min. )
