This study was carried out as an experimental research to determine the effect of the light toy on reducing pain and fear during blood collection in children.
The data were obtained 116 children. The "Interview and Observation Form Children's Fear Scale, Wong-Baker Faces, Luminous Toy and Stopwatch" was used for data collection. The data were evaluated using percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square, t-test, correlation analysis and Krusskal Wallis test in SPSS 21.0 package program.
The fear score average of the children in the lighted toy group was 0.95 ± 0.80, while it was 3.00 ± 0.74 in the control group. The difference between the groups in terms of the fear score average of the children was found statistically significant (p < 0.05). When the difference between groups in terms of pain status of children is examined, the pain level of children in the lighted toy group (2.83 ± 2.82,) was found to be significantly lower than the pain level of the children in the control group (5.86 ± 2.72) (p < 0.05).
As a result of the study, it was found that the lighted toy given to the children during blood collection reduces their fear and pain levels. In the light of these findings, it is recommended to increase the use of lighted toys in blood collection.
The use of lighted toys as a distraction method during blood collection in children is an effective, easy-to-access and low-cost method. This method demonstrates that there is no need for expensive methods of distraction.
本研究旨在通过实验研究，确定在儿童采血过程中使用发光玩具对减轻疼痛和恐惧的影响。
共纳入 116 名儿童，使用“儿童恐惧访谈观察量表、面部表情疼痛量表、发光玩具和秒表”进行数据收集。采用百分比、均数、标准差、卡方检验、t 检验、相关性分析和 Kruskal Wallis 检验进行数据分析，所有统计学检验均采用双侧检验，以 P 值＜0.05 为差异有统计学意义。
发光玩具组儿童的恐惧评分均值为 0.95±0.80，而对照组为 3.00±0.74。两组儿童恐惧评分均值的差异具有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。当比较两组儿童疼痛状况的差异时，发现发光玩具组儿童的疼痛水平（2.83±2.82）显著低于对照组（5.86±2.72）（P＜0.05）。
研究结果表明，在采血过程中给儿童使用发光玩具可以降低他们的恐惧和疼痛水平。基于这些发现，建议在采血过程中增加使用发光玩具。
发光玩具作为一种分散注意力的方法，在儿童采血过程中是一种有效、易于获取且成本低廉的方法。这种方法表明，不需要昂贵的分散注意力方法。
