To assess the effectiveness of a physical method of managing pain and fear in children and anxiety in the accompanying adult during venous puncture in the emergency department.
Quasi-experimental study of 3 groups: one group used a combination of directed distraction by means of a vibration device with ice pack, a second group received only distraction, and no strategy was used in the third.
Pain and adult anxiety were similar in the 2 groups in which a pain management strategy was applied. Pain and adult anxiety were greater when no strategy was adopted. We detected no differences in the level of the children's fear.
Directed distraction can be useful for managing pain in children and it reduces the anxiety experienced by accompanying adults. The use of a vibration device with ice does not add benefits. Fear is not reduced by any of these measures.
评估在急诊科进行静脉穿刺时,一种物理方法对管理儿童疼痛和恐惧以及陪伴成人焦虑的有效性。
准实验研究分为 3 组:一组使用振动设备和冰袋的定向分散注意力的组合,第二组仅接受分散注意力,第三组不使用任何策略。
在应用疼痛管理策略的两组中,疼痛和成人焦虑相似。当不采用策略时,疼痛和成人焦虑更大。我们没有发现儿童恐惧程度的差异。
定向分散注意力可用于管理儿童疼痛,并减轻陪伴成人的焦虑。使用带冰的振动装置没有带来额外的好处。这些措施都不能减轻恐惧。
