Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Children's Emotional Indicator Scale

    children's emotional behaviors during stressful medical procedures.It takes a value between 1 and 5 for each category. The total score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 5-25. As the scores obtained from the scale increase, negative emotional indicators increase.

    5 minutes before the procedure.

  • Child Fear Scale

    The CFS consists of five drawn facial expressions ranging from a neutral expressioanxiety level of children.The mean score of the CFS is 1.9 ± 0.1 (min=0, max=4). The CLS can also be scored by the parent and the researcher.

    5 minutes before and after the procedure.

Study Arms (2)

Musical Toy Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The child and his parents in the experimental group were distracted by playing with the xylophone, a musical toy, 5 minutes before the peripheral vascular access procedure. The xylophone is a percussion wooden toy. There are two wooden bars on the xylophone that make melodious sounds when the metal plates are struck. The xylophone toy was introduced to the child and the parent, and they were given the opportunity to examine it. Before the procedure, one of the wooden sticks of the toy was given to the child and the other to the parent. Before, during and after the procedure, the child and his parents played together by making a melodic sound from the musical toy xylophone. While the child and his parents were playing with the toy, the researcher attached a tourniquet to the appropriate extremity of the child and determined the vein to which the vascular access would be performed.

Device: Musical Toy

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

No distraction technique was applied to the children in the control group before the vascular access procedure. After the procedure was explained according to the child's developmental level, the researcher applied the procedure to open a vascular access in accordance with the institutional policies.
