Musical Toy Group

Experimental group

Description:

The child and his parents in the experimental group were distracted by playing with the xylophone, a musical toy, 5 minutes before the peripheral vascular access procedure. The xylophone is a percussion wooden toy. There are two wooden bars on the xylophone that make melodious sounds when the metal plates are struck. The xylophone toy was introduced to the child and the parent, and they were given the opportunity to examine it. Before the procedure, one of the wooden sticks of the toy was given to the child and the other to the parent. Before, during and after the procedure, the child and his parents played together by making a melodic sound from the musical toy xylophone. While the child and his parents were playing with the toy, the researcher attached a tourniquet to the appropriate extremity of the child and determined the vein to which the vascular access would be performed.

Description:

No distraction technique was applied to the children in the control group before the vascular access procedure.
