Blood sampling can cause pain, anxiety, and fear in children. Such negative experiences may cause the child to develop negative attitudes toward treatment and care procedures. Distraction techniques, which are among non-pharmacological methods, are used to reduce pain, fear, and anxiety by diverting attention away from pain and directing it toward another interesting stimulus. ShotBlocker and finger puppets are one of these techniques. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ShotBlocker and finger puppets in reducing pain and fear in children aged 5-10 years during blood sampling in the pediatric blood sampling unit.
