Introduction: This study aimed to compare the effect of two methods of using toys with medical devices and visual distraction on the intensity of pain and anxiety during venous catheter insertion in children aged 3-6: a clinical trial study.
Materials and methods: In this clinical trial study,150 children aged 3-6 years who needed venous catheter insertion were assigned to 3 control groups(A), toys with medical devices(B) and visual distraction(C) by random block allocation method.There was no intervention in group A. In group B, toys were provided to the child 5 minutes before the start of the catheter insertion, and the child could play with the toys until the end of the procedure.For group C, the cartoon started playing 5 minutes before the insertion of the venous catheter and continued until the end of the procedure. Data were analyzed using chi-score test, t-test and one-way analysis of variance under STATA version 14 software.
Findings:There was a statistically significant difference between the average pain scores of the control group with visual thinking deviation(P=0.008), but there was no statistically significant difference between the average scores of the other groups. There was a statistically significant difference between the average anxiety scores of the group of toys with medical devices with control(P=0.001) and toys with medical devices with visual thinking deviation(P=0.001).
Conclusion: It is recommended to use large televisions in children's catheter insertion rooms to broadcast children's programs, as well as toys with medical devices, to reduce pain and anxiety during venous catheter insertion.
