- Abstract
Objective: This was study that was performed to determine the effect of distraction technique which was applied by a virtual reality for decreasing the pain of the child during blood draw. Methods: In this randomized controlled experimental study, venous blood samples were taken from children aged 6-10 years. In order to evaluate the level of pain that the children felt during the procedure, the Faces Comparative Pain Scale and Visual Comparative Pain Scale were used. Children in the experimental group were shown video with virtual reality glasses during the blood collection process. Results: It was found that mean score of the children in the experimental group from “Faces Pain Scale” was 1.02±1.12 following the procedure and their mean score from “Visual Comparative Pain Scale” was 1.87±1.97. For the children in control group, mean score from “Faces Comparative Pain Scale was 2.47±1.83 and mean score from “Visual Comparative Pain Scale” was 4.17±3.16; and also, a statistically significant difference was found between two groups (p=0.0001 and p=0.001). Conclusion: Virtual reality glasses, that are used during venous blood collection, are an effective instrument which draw the attention of the children, do not require no prior preparation, can be applied easily and decrease pain.
