NCT05955755

Brief Summary

This study was planned to examine the effects of the butterfly vacuum blood collection set and standard vacutanier needle used during blood collection in children on the level of pain and fear. It is a randomized controlled trial.The study will be conducted in the pediatric blood collection unit with children between the ages of 7 and 12 who have undergone blood tests by a pediatrician.Data collection tools: "Descriptive Information Form", "Difficult Intravenous Intervention Score" for Children, "Numerical Pain Scale", "Child Fear Scale" will be used to collect data.The data will be uploaded to the computer and coded by the researchers, and the data will be evaluated in the SPSS package program. The sociodemographic data of the children participating in the study will be given as numbers and percentage distributions. Appropriate tests will be used by analyzing the data for normal distribution. The statistical significance level of the study was determined as p\< 0.05. In addition, at the end of the research, the status of working with sufficient sample size will be tested with post-hoc power analysis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Numerical Pain Scale

    This method, which is aimed at determining the severity of pain, aims to explain the patient's pain in numbers. Absence of pain (0) is evaluated as unbearable pain (10) on numerical scales.

    1 day

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Challenging Intravenous Intervention Score for Children

    1 day

  • Child Fear Scale

    1 day

Study Arms (2)

experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

A butterfly vacuum blood collection set will be used in the blood collection process from the children in the experimental group.

Other: butterfly vacuum blood collection set

control group

NO INTERVENTION

A standard vacutanier needle will be used for blood collection from the children in the control group. Vacutanier needle is used routinely in the blood collection unit where the study will be performed.

Interventions

Blood collection from the children in the experimental group will be performed with a butterfly vacuum blood collection set.
