ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how two different activities—playing video games or looking through a kaleidoscope—can help reduce pain, fear, and anxiety in children aged 8 to 10 during blood collection. The study also aims to see how satisfied parents are with the experience. Researchers will involve 96 children and their parents who visit the Children's Blood Collection Unit at Karaman Training and Research Hospital from February to March 2022. To participate, children must be in the right age group, be in good health, and be able to understand and speak Turkish. Parents also need to provide consent for their child's participation.

Participants can expect to engage in either the video game or kaleidoscope activity while having their blood drawn, which may help make the experience less stressful. The study is designed to gather information on both the children’s feelings during the procedure and how satisfied their parents feel about the process. It's not only about the child's comfort but also about understanding how the whole experience can be improved for families.
