The Effect of Watching Cartoon and Moving Musical Toy on Children’s Pain and Fear Levels During Invasive Procedures.

This text provides a summary of a study conducted on the effects of watching cartoons and playing with a moving musical toy on children's pain and fear during vascular access procedures. The study included a control group, a cartoon group, and a moving musical toy group. The results showed that both watching cartoons and playing with a moving musical toy effectively reduced children's pain and fear during the procedures. These findings are consistent with previous research that has shown the positive effects of distraction methods on children's pain and fear levels. The study suggests that nurses should be informed about these techniques and encouraged to implement them in practice. Further research is recommended to test the effectiveness of non-pharmacological methods in different painful procedures and age groups. [Extracted from the article]
