| Core Tip |
This study highlights the effectiveness of a low-cost, multimodal distraction approach – combining balloon blowing, art therapy, and kaleidoscope use – in reducing pain and anxiety among preschool children undergoing intravenous therapy. Using validated tools like the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale and Visual Analogue Anxiety Scale, the intervention showed significant impact. It offers a scalable, nurse-led solution for procedural pain management in low-resource settings, where expensive technologies like virtual reality are often impractical. |
