These negative experiences may affect children's attitudes toward healthcare and complicate nursing care. Therefore, using non-pharmacological methods is essential for promoting child-friendly services. This study aims to evaluate the effects of the Helfer Skin Tap and vibration techniques on pain and fear levels in children aged 5-10 years during intramuscular injections.\n\nThe study is designed as a parallel, three-arm randomized controlled trial conducted in the Pediatric Emergency Clinic of Ege University Hospital. Participants will be allocated by simple randomization to Helfer Skin Tap, vibration, or standard care. Sample size was calculated with G\\*Power 3.1 using a repeated-measures within-between interaction model with two time points (T0-T1), α=0.05, and power=0.80. Assuming a medium effect size (f=0.25) based on previous studies, at least 159 children are required. Allowing for 15% attrition, the final sample will include 186 participants (62 per group).\n\nData will be collected using a Child Information Form including sociodemographic characteristics and prior injection experiences. A Procedure Record Form will document randomization, assigned group, medication, dose, injection site, duration, child's position, and parental presence.\n\nPain and fear will be assessed immediately before (T0) and after (T1) the injection. Pain will be measured with the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (0-10) and fear with the Children's Fear Scale (0-4). Ratings will be obtained independently from the child, parent, and observing nurse.\n\nThe procedure will be video-recorded to enable objective evaluation of behavioral responses. Recordings will be scored by an independent blinded expert using standardized criteria. Videos will be used only for research purposes, with identifying features concealed, stored in coded format, and destroyed after study completion.",[77,78],"Pain","Fear",[80,81,82,83,84],"pediatric emergency","intramuscular injection","Helfer Skin Tap","vibration","randomized controlled trial","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-03-11",{"date":88,"type":89},"2026-03-12","ACTUAL",{"date":91,"type":71},"2026-05-01",{"date":93,"type":71},"2027-05-01",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
