Clinical trials

This research will be conducted in a pre-test-post-test parallel group randomized controlled experimental study model to determine the effects of rain stick and musical egg applied during blood collection on pain, fear and anxiety in children aged 4-6. Research Hypotheses H1: The mean pain scores of the children in the rain stick group are lower than the mean scores of the children in the control group. H2: The mean fear scores of the children in the rain stick group are lower than the mean scores of the children in the control group. H3: The mean anxiety scores of the children in the rain stick group are lower than the mean scores of the children in the control group. H4: The mean pain scores of the children in the musical egg group are lower than the mean scores of the children in the control group. H5: The mean fear scores of the children in the musical egg group are lower than the mean scores of the children in the control group. H6: The mean anxiety scores of the children in the musical egg group are lower than the mean scores of the children in the control group.

This research will be conducted as a pre-test-post-test parallel group randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effects of two different types of hourglasses (liquid gel-based hourglass and sand-based hourglass) used for distraction during blood collection in children aged 5-10 years on pain, fear, and anxiety and the comparative effectiveness of these methods. Research Hypotheses H1: The mean pain, fear, and anxiety scores of children who used a liquid gel-based hourglass during blood collection were significantly lower than the mean scores of children in the control group. H2: The mean pain, fear, and anxiety scores of children who used a sand-based hourglass during blood collection were significantly lower than the mean scores of children in the control group. H3: The use of a liquid gel-based hourglass and a sand-based hourglass during blood collection had different effects on the mean pain, fear, and anxiety scores of children.
