ABSTRACT
Background and Aim: Pain is a personal feeling and a human experience, which is defined as an unpleasant feeling related to tissue damage, and the process of understanding pain is carried out by the brain. Pain and fear are seen in most cases in the provision of health services in children.
Materials and Methods: The present study is a randomized clinical trial that was conducted on 218 children aged 3 to 6 years who referred to the emergency rooms of the studied hospitals who needed stitches. The child was questioned based on the 10-point FLACC questionnaire in both groups.
Results: In this study, the pain after the procedure in the participants of the study was 3.06 points with a standard deviation of 2.13, which in the control group was 3.42 with a standard deviation of 2.06 and in the case group with an average of 2.71 and a standard deviation of 2.16. . In examining the presence of a significant difference between the two groups, a significant difference was seen (p-value=0.011).
Conclusion: The use of distraction techniques to reduce children's pain and anxiety by non-pharmacological methods has received more attention due to higher safety and fewer side effects, among which, the use of digital-based methods such as watching cartoons and Using VR can help.
Keywords: Playing cartoons، Distraction, stitches, pediatrics,
