Abstract
The present study, to evaluate the effectiveness of local cold application on pain response during intravenous cannula insertion among children ( 6-12 years) admitted in Government District Headquarters Hospital, Namakkal, was conducted by Mrs. AswathiVenugopal in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of Science (Nursing) during the year 2013-2015. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY ARE: 1. To assess the level of pain during intra venous cannula insertion among children in control group. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of local cold application on pain response during intra venous cannula insertion among the children in the experimental group. 3. To compare the level of pain scores between experimental and control group. 4. To find out the association between pain level and selected demographic variables like age, sex, weight etc in the experimental group. MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: Major findings of the study are summarized as follows. I. Findings related to socio demographic variables: Nearly above half percentage 31(51.67%) of sample belongs to the age group of 6-8 years. About 27(45%) children belongs to the category upto 20 kilograms. Most of the children 34(56.67%) were females. About 31(51.67%) children had history of intravenous cannula insertion in previous hospitalization. Majority of children 55(91.6%) did not receive any pain relief measure before intravenous cannula insertion in previous hospitalization. About 24(40%) children were cannulated with 24G cannula. II. Analysis of effectiveness of local cold application on pain relief during intravenous cannula insertion. 1. Assessment of post test level of pain score in experimental and control group. The study revealed that in experimental group among 30 children, 10 (33.33%) were experienced mild pain, 20 (66.67%) were experienced moderate pain and none of them experienced severe pain. But in control group among 30, majority of children 25 (83.33%) experienced severe pain, 5 (16.67%) experienced moderate pain but none of them experienced mild pain. 2. Comparison of post test level of pain between experimental and control group. The study revealed that in experimental group the mean pain score is 4.03, mean percentage is 40.33% and standard deviation is 0.95. In control group the mean pain score is 7.33, mean percentage is 73.3% and standard deviation is 0.98. The t value is 13.04 (p =0 .05, 58 df, t= 1.96) which is statistically significant. III. Association between post test pain score in the experimental group with selected socio demographic variables. Chi-square test was used to find out the association between the socio demographic variables and post test level of pain. It was concluded that age, weight, sex, history of intravenous cannula insertion in previous hospitalization, and size of the cannula were significant at 5% level, but history of use of any pain relief measure before intravenous cannula insertion was not significant.
