Brief Summary

This study was planned to determine the effect of emotional liberation technique (EFT) in reducing fear and pain in intravenous catheter applications in children aged 10-14 years admitted to the pediatric emergency department.

Conditions

Pain; Fear

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Pen Pain Scale

  It will be used to measure the pain scores of children in the experimental and control groups before, during and after the procedure. The pencil used as a scale is a handmade pencil whose raw material is wood and measures 17 cm in length, 5 cm in circumference and 1.59 cm in diameter. In the middle of the pen, a monthly 5 cm long, parallel to its neck, is formed and drawn in orange around it to be decisive. A 5 cm measurement line was drawn by hand in the middle of the recess and is numbered from 0 to 5. While the value near the tip of the pen indicates 0 and the value near the base indicates 5, the value 0 means no pain and 5 means unbearable pain.

  0-2 years

• Medical Procedures Fear Scale

  Medical Procedures Fear Scale It will be used to calculate the fear scores of the children in the experimental and control groups before, during and after the procedure. The scale items were prepared in the form of a structured Likert-type 3-point timed option, and the child was required to choose one of the statements 'I am not afraid at all', 'I am somewhat afraid', 'I am very afraid' for each item. Scores range from 29 to 87, and those with low scores constitute the group that is least afraid of medical procedures.

  0-2 years

• Subjective Experience Scale(SUE)

  As the subjective scoring of the experience, it will be applied to the children in the experimental group before and after the procedure. An SUE assessment is done before the EFT round begins. After the EFT round is complete, the SUE scale is repeated to see how much the situation has changed. on a scale from -10 to +10; -10 indicates the greatest imaginable level of pain, frustration, fear, stress, sadness, or discomfort. +10; It includes the highest levels of joy, happiness, or feeling great.

  0-2 years

• Heart rate

  The heart rate of the children was recorded by measuring with a pulse oximeter placed on the right or left finger of each child. Heart rate was recorded before, during and after the procedure.

  0-2 years

• oxygen saturation

  The oxygen saturation value of the children was measured with a pulse oximeter placed on the right or left finger of each child and recorded. Oxygen value was recorded before, during and after the procedure.

  0-2 years

• respiratory rate

  The respiratory rate of the children was evaluated by the researcher within one minute. Respiratory values were recorded before, during and after the procedure.

  0-2 years

Study Arms (2)

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The child for whom an intravenous catheter will be applied will be placed on a stretcher and pain and fear will be evaluated before the procedure. Afterwards, an intravenous catheter will be applied. Pain and fear scores will be evaluated during and after the procedure.

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

The child to whom an intravenous catheter will be applied is placed on a stretcher. After evaluating the pain and fear score before the procedure, emotional liberation technique (EFT) is performed for 10 minutes. followed by an intravenous catheter. Pain and fear scores are evaluated during and after the procedure.

Behavioral: emotional liberation technique

Interventions

emotional liberation technique BEHAVIORAL

experimental group; The child, to whom an intravenous catheter will be applied, is placed on a stretcher. pain ve score fear will be evaluated before the procedure. Then, the emotional liberation technique (EFT) will be applied for 10 minutes and an intravenous catheter will be applied to evaluate the pain and fear scores during and after the procedure.

Model Details: The research was planned as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of the emotional freedom technique used in intravenous catheter applications in the pediatric emergency on fear and pain in children aged 10-14 years. The entire sample was numbered from 1 to 70, and odd numbers were assigned to the control group and even numbers to the intervention group. Randomization was performed by an independent nurse other than the researcher.
