Treatments tested in this trial
Rain Stick
Other interventionThe rain stick to be used in the study is a toy made of wood, ranging in length from 20 to 120 cm. It is also a very entertaining musical instrument that imitates the sound of real rain. It is suitable for use by children aged 4 to 6. It has spiral shapes and colorful beads inside. When the rain stick is turned up and down, it produces a perfect rain sound that drizzles and patters. It is also known as a rain sound stick. The visual and auditory nature of the rain stick can distract the child during the blood collection process.
