Abstract
Experience of pain at dressing change can raise a child’s anxiety levels about subsequent dressing changes. In addition to the psychological effects, stress and pain can actually impair the healing process, resulting in longer healing times and greater costs. Objectives of the study: The objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of cartoon animation, music therapy & kaleidoscope in reduction of pain during and after surgical dressing and find the association between the level of pain and the selected demographic variables. Methodology: Time series design with three groups. Sixty (60) children were selected using purposive sampling technique and were randomly assigned to intervention to three groups using lottery method. Interventions were given to the children during and after surgical dressing. Assessment of pain related to surgical dressing was assessed by investigator using FLACC scale, parents using Wong Baker pain scale and the children using Numerical pain scale to grade the level of pain experienced. Major findings of the study: Among 60 children in the study, under the stage of surgery 35(58%) undergone single stage surgery & 26(43.33%) of children had genitourinary surgeries. The assessment of pain found that the cartoon animation was very effective in reducing pain in children both during and after surgical dressing (M±SD=1.18±0.5, F=8.48 at p<0.05), (M±SD=1.17±0.9, F=12.2 at p<0.05) in comparison with music therapy and kaleidoscope. There was a significant association found between the age, developmental age and stage of surgery with level of pain before surgical dressing.
