Abstract
METHOD: According to the statement of problem and the objectives to be achieved True Experimental – Post-Test Only Control Group design was adopted. In the study 60 children between 5-12 years, were selected and assigned in two groups as Experimental group (topical ice pack application) and Control group (routine care) during intravenous cannulation by Simple Random Sampling technique. The study was conducted at the Haematology Department, Institute of Child Health and Hospital for Children, Egmore-08. The conceptual framework adapted for the study was based on Roy’s Adaptation model. Data were collected and Wong Baker’s faces pain scale was used to assess the intensity of pain upon the effectiveness of topical ice pack application during intravenous cannulation in both experimental group and control group. RESULT: The collected data were analysed statistically by using “student Chi Square Test” and independent “t” test. The study revealed that the post-test mean pain score of the experiment group was 2.53 and the control group was 7.13. The difference in the pain score is 4.60. This difference is large and was statistically very highly significant with P=0.001. CONCLUSION: The study revealed that topical ice pack application had a highly significant effect in reducing the intensity of pain among children during intravenous annulation.
