Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of distraction technique on pain and cooperation level during venipuncture among school aged children in paediatric ward, Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: The conceptual framework for this study was based on modified Widenbach‟s prescriptive theory (1964). DESIGN: This study employed True experimental - Post test only design. SETTING OF THE STUDY: The study was conducted at paediatric ward, Institute of Child Health and Research Centre, Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. SUBJECTS: A total of 60 subjects were included in the study (30 in experimental group and 30 in control group). Subjects were selected using simple random sampling technique. INTERVENTION: Children in the experimental group were displayed the cartoon movie on the laptop during the whole duration of the venipuncture. The usual standard technique was given for the children in control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Numerical Pain Rating Scale was used for measurement of pain level and Cooperative Behaviour Scale of Children in Venipuncture (CBSCV) was used to assess the cooperation level. FINDINGS: In the experimental group majority of the children 43% had no pain and 70% had good cooperation. Whereas, in control group children 53% had severe pain and 70% had no cooperation. The obtained “t” value for pain level 12.07 was significant at p < 0.001 level. Similarly the obtained “t” value for cooperation level 11.67 was significant at p < 0.001 level. The correlation between the pain level and cooperation level, in experimental group was “r” = 0.62 significant at p < 0.001 level and in control group was “r” = 0.57 significant at p < 0.001 level. So, there was highly positive correlation between the pain level and the cooperation level during venipuncture. The number of previous venipuncture was significantly associated with the pain and cooperation level of the children in the experimental and control group. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that distraction technique was effective in reducing the pain and promoting the cooperation of school aged children during venipuncture. This distracting technique is highly recommended because it is effective, easy to carry out and inexpensive.
