Authors: Ekene Cynthia Onukwulu  , Mercy Odochi Agho  , Nsisong Louis Eyo-Udo
Published: December 2024

Sustainable supply chain practices are essential in reducing the carbon footprint of the oil and gas industry, which remains one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. The integration of sustainability into supply chain management can significantly mitigate environmental impacts while maintaining operational efficiency. This paper explores various strategies that oil and gas companies can adopt to achieve more sustainable supply chains. Key practices include the adoption of renewable energy sources, optimizing logistics and transportation, reducing waste through recycling and reuse, and implementing energy-efficient technologies. Moreover, the paper discusses the role of supply chain transparency, where companies disclose carbon emissions and track their progress toward sustainability targets. Technology also plays a pivotal role in enhancing sustainability, with innovations such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain providing real-time data for better decision-making and tracking emissions across the supply chain. Collaboration with suppliers and stakeholders is another critical aspect of reducing the carbon footprint. By working closely with suppliers to ensure they adhere to environmental standards, companies can create a more sustainable ecosystem. Green procurement, which focuses on sourcing products and materials with lower environmental impact, also contributes to reducing the overall carbon footprint. Furthermore, this paper examines the importance of regulatory frameworks and policy incentives that encourage sustainable practices in the supply chain, such as carbon pricing and emission reduction targets. Ultimately, adopting sustainable supply chain practices in the oil and gas industry not only contributes to global environmental goals but also enhances corporate reputation and operational cost efficiency. As the industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, these practices provide a roadmap for achieving long-term sustainability and minimizing climate change impacts. This study emphasizes the need for continuous innovation and the adoption of best practices to ensure the oil and gas sector transitions toward a more sustainable and low-carbon future.

Ineffectiveness of the Issuance of Investigation Orders After Examining the Reporter in the Investigation Process at the Indonesian National Police
Authors: Gunawan Hendra , Redi Ahmad
Published: December 2024

This study examines the ineffectiveness of issuing Investigation Orders (Surat Perintah Penyidikan or Sprindik) following complainant examinations in Indonesia’s law enforcement process, contributing to case backlogs. Using a normative juridical method, the research analyzes legal regulations, administrative procedures, and relevant case examples. A statutory approach involving legal reviews and a conceptual approach exploring legal accountability and procedural justice principles were applied. Key findings reveal that high investigator workloads, inadequate training, and administrative mismanagement hinder effective Sprindik issuance. A lack of standardized protocols for evaluating initial evidence leads to premature suspect designations, causing judicial delays. Limited use of investigative technologies and procedural misunderstandings further exacerbate inefficiencies. To address these issues, the study recommends revising police regulations to standardize evidence evaluation, expanding investigator training, streamlining administrative processes, and adopting digital case management systems. An oversight mechanism should be established to monitor Sprindik issuance, ensuring greater accountability and transparency. These reforms aim to modernize investigative procedures, reduce case backlogs, and promote fairer, more efficient law enforcement practices. The study’s integrated approach combines legal analysis with policy solutions, offering a roadmap for sustainable improvements in criminal investigation management.

Authors: Purbaningsih Endah Sari , Muadi Muadi , Kamila Sri
Published: December 2024

Aggressive behavior among adolescents, such as brawls, has become increasingly prevalent, particularly in school environments. This study investigates the relationship between social support and the risk of aggressive behavior among adolescents at SMK Muhammadiyah Cirebon City. Utilizing a descriptive correlation design with a cross-sectional approach, the study involved 152 students, with 60 respondents selected through proportional random sampling. Data collection utilized a reliable social support questionnaire and a risk of aggressive behavior questionnaire. The analysis revealed that 65.0% of respondents received moderate social support, while 61.7% were at risk of aggressive behavior. Notably, a significant and very strong negative correlation was found between social support and the risk of aggressive behavior (p = 0.000, ? = 0.05, r = -0.886). This indicates that higher levels of social support are associated with a substantially lower risk of aggressive behavior. The study recommends implementing counseling programs to enhance social support for students at risk of aggression.

The Concept of Gender in Cirebon Oral Literature and Its Transformation in the Memitu Slametan Rituals
Authors: Fauzi Nurul Atikah
Published: December 2024

Cirebon oral literature, specifically tembung éntar, is an essential cultural resource that reflects societal values, particularly concerning gender roles. However, previous studies have not thoroughly examined how these expressions play out in ritual practices, highlighting a gap that this research seeks to fill. This study investigates the concept of gender found in tembung éntar and how it changes within the traditional ritual of Slametan Memitu. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with semiotic analysis, 412 tembung éntar texts were analyzed. The data collection process involved documentation and analysis performed in four stages: gathering data, reducing it, presenting findings, and verifying the results. The findings showcase symbolic representations of gender roles in which tembung éntar indicates masculine and feminine qualities, including persistence, diligence, care, and obedience. The Slametan Memitu ritual transforms these symbolic meanings into cultural practices, illustrated by expressions such as “Asah, Asih, Asuh” and “Manek gunung temurub jurang,” which emphasize mutual support and resilience. This research offers a fresh perspective by connecting oral literature with ritual performance, stressing the cultural representation of gender roles. Upcoming studies could investigate similar transformations in different cultural settings.
Tribalism in American Politics: Are Partisans Guilty of Double-Standards?
Authors: Bernstein Michael H. , Zambrotta Nicholas S. , Martin Scott D. , Micalizzi Lauren
Published: December 2024

Political tribalism has increased dramatically in recent years. We explored partisan double-standards of Democratic and Republican voters across both hypothetical and real-worldscenarios. In Study 1, participants rated the perceived legitimacy of election outcomes inresponse to hypothetical and ambiguous results from the 2020 presidential election. In Study 2Part 1, college students and Amazon Turk volunteers rated their support of real-world presidential policies and actions. All policies/actions were attributed to Trump or Obama though they actually occurred under both presidents. In Study 2 Part 2, participants rated how bigoted various statements were; we manipulated who the utterances were attributed to (Trump v. Bill Clinton or Trump v. Martin Luther King [MLK]). Generally, Republican ratings were more favorable when statements were attributed to Trump vs. Democratic leaders while the opposite is true of Democrats. Crucially, these biases exist when evaluating identical information. Republicans and Democrats had a very small and very large tendency, respectively, to view statements as more bigoted under Trump vs. MLK. To the degree that this study can answer the question about which side is more guilty of double-standards, our results provide tentative evidence that this occurs under Democrats more than Republicans, though this overall difference may obscure important moderators. Our data provide evidence for tribal loyalty which may have significant social and political ramifications.Keywords: Tribalism, politics, bias, motivated reasoning, partisanship
Review of Holly Lawford-Smith’s “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Conversion Therapy: Or, Who put the ‘GI’ in ‘SOGI’?”
Authors: Kalef Justin
Published: December 2024

After positively discussing Professor Lawford-Smith's central argument, I provide some of my own comments on the term 'gender identity', contrasting it with 'sexual orientation'. I argue that, unlike 'sexual orientation', both components of the phrase 'gender identity' have significant ambiguities that make clear empirical research into the nature of 'gender identity' a non-starter. I briefly suggest some ways to resolve the problem.

Caddy, la puella eterna. Una revisión con perspectiva de género de la novela El sonido y la furia, de William Faulkner
Authors: Velázquez Anderson Ana María
Published: December 2024

La novela El sonido y la furia, de William Faulkner, puede ser revisada en la actualidad desde una perspectiva de género. Entre sus personajes femeninos, complejos, angustiados, guiados por un fuerte sentido del cumplimiento de los roles tradicionales de género, aparece Caddy,  la única hija de la familia Compson.  La imagen que presenta el autor se adelantó a las propuestas escriturales con perspectiva de género en una época, 1929, en la cual hablar de la libertad femenina era una apuesta a la crítica tenaz. El autor, con una sensibilidad única hacia la problemática de la mujer, sujeta a los atavismos familiares, se unía así  a la naciente crítica feminista a los roles patriarcales impuestos a la mujer de su tiempo.
Caddy Compson encarnó lo único rescatable de una familia disfuncional que grantizaba el dolor de generación en generación. Ella era el “alma” que se negaba a participar de la degeneración del clan y que se abría paso en el mundo por sí misma. Aunque, como bien lo plantea el autor, Caddy siempre volverá a mirar para atrás para velar por los suyos. Ella remite a la puella eterna, un arquetipo femenino basado en la joven eterna, la mujer a la que le cuesta crecer y madurar y que siempre vivirá dependiendo de la mirada del otro, de la otra, sobre ella, bien sea para validarla o para castrar su crecimiento interior.
La mujer aparece en El sonido y la furia como una figura que debe aceptar la proyección de los demás y debe cumplir con ciertos roles predeterminados, por eso está despersonalizada:  es cambiante, variable, amorosa, promiscua a veces, madura y sabia, otras veces, dependiendo de cuál ha sido la experiencia de cada quién con lo femenino. Al final, a través de un largo y doloroso proceso de transformación la mujer puede asumir su libertad femenina. Caddy abandona el rol de la puella y se marcha a un exilio en Europa, desligandose de los conflictos y de los complejos familiares propios de una familia del sur de los Estados Unidos que no aceptaba ni los cambios y necesidades femeninas. Tampoco aceptaba los cambios sociales que se estaban dando a partir de la crisis económica del año 1929, cauasada con el "Crack" de la Bolsa de Nueva York y antes con la ruptura del antiguo modo de vida de los hacendados del sur por la pérdida en la Guerra Civil norteamericana, en 1965. Hundidos en su desconexión con los nuevos roles femeninos, solo Caddy puede salvarse de la catástrofe.

Authors: Monasterio Pérez Johnny , Silva Rojas William , Urdaneta Gabriel
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo busca proponer un modelo de negocios para las organizaciones civiles (equipos de fútbol) de carácter nacional que promuevan el deporte venezolano. Ante la problemática situación económica del país y el poco interés hacía el fútbol por parte de la población venezolana, se ha considerado pertinente evaluar alternativas de financiamiento empleadas por equipos de fútbol del extranjero y de otras disciplinas deportivas del país. Para ello, se tomó como referencia el Caracas Fútbol Club en virtud de su trayectoria local y la participación en otras competencias de índole internacional. Se realizó una investigación de tipo proyecto factible (UPEL, 2016) y el diseño correspondió al tipo documental y de campo (Arias, 2012). Como medio de recolección de información se realizó una revisión documental a los fines de identificar las principales fuentes de ingreso y estrategias de financiamiento que aplican los equipos de fútbol extranjero; y una entrevista semiestructurada, con la finalidad de comprender y contextualizar, desde un enfoque fenomenológico, la situación financiera y las estrategias de financiamiento actualmente empleadas por algunos equipos de fútbol venezolano. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que las principales fuentes de financiamiento de los equipos extranjeros son los ingresos por derechos televisivos, venta de entradas para los partidos y la gestión del área comercial; en comparación a esto, los equipos venezolanos no reciben ingresos significativos para su ingreso total por ninguna de estas vías y dependen meramente del desempeño deportivo del equipo.

Online Education in Orthopaedic Surgery: A Current Concept Review
Authors: Sackey Manuel , Shah Ronit , Rehman Saqib
Published: December 2024

This allows for blended learning and flipped classroom opportunities for the reduced in-person didactic time that orthopaedic surgical faculty have with residents today. Exam preparation for the Orthopaedic In-Training Exam (OITE) and the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons (ABOS) is now very commonly done with online platforms. Journal club activities have also shifted to the virtual space; podcasts provide a new way to learn when on the go, and virtual and augmented reality technologies are starting to make their way into surgical training. Evidence for these learning methods is steadily growing, although more extensive studies are needed to determine their efficacy. This review will assess the evidence available for these online education methods in orthopaedic surgery.
Avascular Necrosis and Subchondral Collapse of the Femoral Head After Intra-Articular Corticosteroid Injection: A Case Report
Authors: Cowan Shelby , Ghayyad Kassem , King Patrick
Published: December 2024

A 51-year-old female with no history of chronic alcohol or steroid use presented with right hip pain. X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed osteoarthritic changes without evidence of avascular necrosis (AVN) or subchondral collapse of the femoral head, and the patient elected to receive an intra-articular corticosteroid injection to address the pain. She returned four months post-injection, reporting the pain had returned after 2-3 months of relief and was more severe than pre-injection. She opted for a second corticosteroid injection, but the procedure was stopped when heme was aspirated from the joint. A repeat MRI showed secondary femoral head AVN and subchondral collapse. Conservative management failed, resulting in a total hip arthroplasty (THA). This case highlights the importance of follow-up to detect warning signs of femoral head AVN after corticosteroid injection, such as rebound pain. Early diagnosis of AVN may prevent the progression and need for THA.
Glenoid-Anchor Cerclage for the Unstable Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Surgical Technique
Authors: Polisetty Teja S. , Bowler Adam R. , Glass Evan A. , Corban Jason , Jawa Andrew
Published: December 2024

Instability following reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a notable complication, with challenges arising from various surgical and patient-specific factors that negatively impact the glenohumeral compressive forces necessary for RSA stability. This paper introduces a novel glenoid-anchor cerclage technique to address the instability in high-risk RSA cases. By placing an all-suture anchor superiorly above the glenosphere and integrating it through a transosseous tunnel through the greater tuberosity, this method serves as an adjunct for improving stability by counteracting superior and anterior translation. Here, we detail our preferred procedural steps, preoperative considerations, and postoperative management for this approach, emphasizing its potential to reduce recurrent instability.

Authors: Dhurairaj Puvin , Asham George , Harrer Samantha , Gentile Pietro M. , Mashru Rakesh P. , Graf Kenneth W. , Dolch Henry J.
Published: December 2024

Objective

This paper aims to determine whether the COVID-19 pandemic affected critical time points in pediatric patient care of Supracondylar Humerus Fracture treatments within one level two pediatric trauma center.

Methods

Pediatric patients 16 years or younger who presented for supracondylar humerus fractures between 2016 and 2022 were included in this study, with March 11th, 2020, marking the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Interventions included open reduction internal fixation, percutaneous pinning, and closed reduction. Primary outcome measures encompassed critical time points, including time from admission to discharge, time from admission to surgery start, time in surgery, and time from surgery end to discharge. Secondary outcome measures included complications, overall readmission, and reoperation rates of pediatric patients, which were observed to determine any impact of the pandemic on fracture treatment.

Results

Among the 168 patients included in this study, although median critical time points increased in length, there were no statistically significant differences in median critical time points between the pre-COVID and COVID-era groups. Furthermore, no significant differences in age or BMI were observed between the two groups. Intraoperative complication and readmission rates were universally minimal as well.

Conclusion

The reallocation of hospital resources and policy changes that occurred in response to the COVID pandemic did not negatively impact the treatment of pediatric patients for supracondylar humerus fractures at our institution. While this study demonstrates how one institution responded to the COVID pandemic, a more extensive multi-institutional approach is needed to understand COVID’s impact on supracondylar humerus fixation within the nation.

Comparison of Short-Term Clinical Outcomes of the DePuy Synthes Femoral Reconstruction Nail with the Synthes Expert Retrograde/Antegrade Femoral Nail for Intramedullary Nailing in Femoral Shaft Fractures
Authors: Mehta Satvam , Allen Nicholas J , Slattery Bridget , Rehman Saqib , Zhao Huaqing
Published: December 2024

Objectives

The objective of this study is to compare the complications, rates of reoperation, and related secondary measures between two devices used to manage femoral shaft fractures: the DePuy Synthes Femoral Recon Nail (FRN) and its predecessor, the DePuy Synthes Expert Retrograde/Antegrade Femoral Nail (R/AFN). The primary null hypothesis was that the two devices had no significant difference in the clinical outcomes. Our secondary hypothesis was that there is no significant difference in the duration of surgery between the two devices.

Methods

This study reviewed charts of all patients aged 18-89 who underwent antegrade intramedullary nailing for a femoral shaft fracture, subtrochanteric femur fracture, or a combined femoral neck/shaft fracture with either a FRN or a R/AFN from January 1st, 2010, to April 1st, 2022, at a single level 1 trauma center. A total of 88 subjects were identified for study inclusion: 30 patients who underwent fixation with the R/AFN system and 58 patients who received treatment with the FRN system. These subjects’ charts and radiographs were then analyzed for patient characteristics, fracture characteristics, radiographic outcomes, and clinical outcomes. Statistical significance between variables was ascertained using chi-squared analysis and t-tests. Significant results were confirmed via power analysis with a two-sample t-test and normalization for demographic differences using linear regression.

Results

Average body mass indexes (BMIs) were 24.6±4.4 kg/m2 and 27.9±4.6 kg/m2 for the R/AFN and FRN groups, respectively (P=.002). The duration of surgery was 2.4±1.0 hours for the R/AFN cohort and 3.1±1.1 hours for the FRN cohort (P=.01). No statistically significant differences were found in the clinical outcomes between the two devices.

Conclusion

The FRN has short-term clinical outcomes comparable to the R/AFN in terms of safety and efficacy.

NaBr-H₂O-Ba(H₂PO₂)₂ üçlü su-tuz sisteminin 273.15 K ve 323.15 K sıcaklıklardaki yoğunluklarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın temel problemi, bu üçlü sistemin yoğunluk özelliklerinin sıcaklık ve bileşim değişiklikleriyle nasıl etkilendiğini anlamak ve ötonik noktalarını belirlemektir. Bu bilgiler, tuz-su sistemlerinin fizikokimyasal davranışlarını anlamak ve ileri kimyasal uygulamalarda kullanılabilir veri sağlamak için önemlidir. Yoğunluk ve ötonik noktaların tanımı yapılmış, çalışmada kullanılan cihazlar (piknometre, termostat) ve kimyasallar açıklanmıştır. NaBr-H₂O-Ba(H₂PO₂)₂ sisteminin farklı sıcaklıklardaki yoğunluk değişimleri ve ötonik nokta bileşimleri sunulmaktadır. NaBr-H₂O-Ba(H₂PO₂)₂ sisteminde, hem 273.15 K hem de 323.15 K sıcaklıklarda ötonik noktalar tespit edilmiştir. 273.15 K sıcaklıkta ötonik nokta bileşimi: %40.95 NaBr, %52.35 H₂O, %6.70 Ba(H₂PO₂)₂; yoğunluk: 1522 kg/m³’tür. 323.15 K sıcaklıkta ötonik nokta bileşimi: %48.62 NaBr, %46.17 H₂O, %5.21 Ba(H₂PO₂)₂; yoğunluk: 1619 kg/m³'tür. Sıvı faz yoğunlukları, ötonik noktadaki tuz miktarlarının artışı ile sistemin doygun çözeltilerinin yoğunluklarından daha yüksek değerler göstermiştir. Yoğunluk, bileşim ve sıcaklık değişiklikleri arasında belirgin bir korelasyon bulunmuştur. Yoğunluk değişimleri, sistemde çözünmüş madde miktarına ve sıcaklığa bağlıdır. Ötonik noktadaki yoğunluk artışı, bu noktada çözünmüş tuz miktarlarının yüksek olmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Elde edilen veriler, farklı sıcaklıklarda tuz-su sistemlerinin davranışlarını anlamada önemli bir kaynak sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca, bu tür sistemlerin kimyasal üretim süreçlerinde kullanılabileceği önerilmiştir.

İnsanoğlunun gökyüzüne olan merakı ve uçma arzusu insanlık tarihi kadar eskidir. 1903 yılında Wright Kardeşlerin ilk motorlu uçağı yapmalarının üzerinden henüz bir asır zaman geçmesine rağmen havacılık alanında ciddi ilerlemeler yaşanmıştır. Hava araçları insanların seyahat için harcamış oldukları süreyi kısaltmış ve zaman içerisinde gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte daha konforlu bir hale getirmiştir. Günümüzde çok ciddi bir sektör haline gelen havacılık ülke ekonomileri içinde ciddi bir girdi kalemi oluşturmaktadır. ICAO verilerine göre 2019 yılında taşınan toplam yolcu sayısı 4,5 milyar sayısını geçmiştir. 2019 yılında tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan Covid-19 pandemisinin etkisiyle, hava yolu ulaşımı, uygulanan seyahat kısıtlamalarının neticesinde yara almış olsa da 2021 yılında tüm dünyada 2,3 milyar yolcu taşınmıştır. Ülkemizde ise havacılık sektörü hızla büyüyen ve ciddi istihdam olanakları sunmaktadır. Sivil havacılık genel müdürlüğü tarafından yayımlanan 2021 yılı faaliyet raporuna göre 2019 yılında 295.547 kişinin çalıştığı 27.06 milyar dolarlık bir sektör haline gelmiştir. Böylesine hızlı büyüyen bir sektörde hem sistemin sekteye uğrayıp oluşabilecek maddi kayıpların önüne geçilmesi hem de sektör çalışanlarının karşılaşabilecekleri kaza ve meslek hastalıklarının önüne geçilebilmesi için iş sağlığı ve güvenliği (İSG) uygulamalarının, sağlıklı bir şekilde hayata geçirilmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada Kars Harakani Havalimanı yer hizmetleri gözlemlenmiş ve elde edilen bulgular Fine-Kinney risk analizi metodu ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen bulgular, sonuçlar kısmında tartışılmıştır.

Majuto ni Mjukuu: Uchunguzi wa Mhusika Ngoma katika Riwaya ya Ua la Faraja
Authors: Fuluge Adria
Published: December 2024

Maisha ya mtu ni hadithi inayopaswa kusimuliwa ili kutoa mafunzo kwa jamii kuhusu mapito ya mhusika. Hii inatokana na ukweli kwamba kila mtu katika jamii ana mambo mazuri na/au mabaya ya kusimulia yanayohusu mapito ya maisha yake. Yapo masimulizi yanayofurahisha kutokana na matendo ya mhusika na mengine husikitisha kiasi cha kumfanya mhusika kuyajutia maisha yake kutokana na kufanya au kutofanya jambo fulani. Kwa msingi huo, makala hii ililenga kuchunguza methali inayosema “majuto ni mjukuu” kwa kuchunguza maisha ya mhusika Ngoma katika riwaya ya Ua la Faraja (2004). Mhusika huyu ameteuliwa kama kiwakilishi cha wahusika wengi ambao katika maisha yao, walifanya na/au hawakufanya mambo fulani ambapo kutokana na kufanya na/au kutokufanya kwao, kulisababisha majuto katika maisha yao. Pia, riwaya hii imeteuliwa kama sampuli ya riwaya mbalimbali zenye wahusika wenye sifa kama za mhusika Ngoma. Data zilitokana na uchambuzi wa riwaya ya Ua la Faraja. Vilevile, Nadharia ya Uhalisia ilitumika kama mwongozo katika ukusanyaji wa data, uchambuzi na uwasilishaji wa matokeo ya utafiti wa makala hii. Matokeo yanaonesha kwamba ziko sababu kuu nne zilizosababisha Ngoma ayajutie maisha yake. Sababu hizo ni kukosa uaminifu katika ndoa, kuitelekeza familia yake, kuendekeza anasa, na kutowajali ndugu zake.

Kan alma hem poliklinik hem de klinik hizmetlerinde ailelerin ve çocukların sıklıkla karşılaştığı bir durumdur. Kan alma, aşı uygulama, periferal damar yolu açma gibi işlemsel uygulamalar maalesef ağrı ve anksiyete kaynaklarıdır. Girişimler sebebiyle oluşan ağrı ve acı hissi, uygulama esnasında çocukla iş birliği yapılmasını ve çocuğun tedaviye uyumunu zorlaştırmakta hatta tedavinin veya uygulamanın reddine sebep olmaktadır. Ayrıca bu durum çocukların yanı sıra anne babaları da işlem sırasında germekte ve bazen tartışmaların çıkmasına neden olabilmektedir. Tüm bu nedenlerle, hemşireler ağrının çocuk üzerindeki olumsuz etkisini azaltabilmek ve işlemler nedeni ile ağrıyı en aza indirebilmek için ağrının kontrolünü yapabilmenin yanı sıra çocukta oluşabilecek anksiyeteyi azaltmaya hatta önüne geçilmeye çalışmalıdır. Geçmişten günümüze ağrıyı dindirmeye yönelik uygulanan farmakolojik ve non-farmakolojik yöntemler bulunmaktadır. Bunlar arasında bazen bir şeyler yemek, bazen ağrıyan bölgeye bazı uygulamalar yapmak ya da dikkat dağıtmak gibi birçok yöntem sayılabilir. Literatür incelendiğinde günümüz teknolojisiyle hemşirelerin işlemsel ağrıyı ve anksiyeteyi yönetmede non-farmakolojik yöntemler kullanması ile ilgili birçok yöntemin olduğu ve konu hakkında yapılan çalışmaların sayısının oldukça arttığı görülmüştür. Çalışmalardan da görüleceği gibi sadece çocuklar için değil anne babalar içinde önemli olan kan alma veya diğer girişimsel işlemler esnasında ağrıyı ve anksiyeteyi azaltabilecek non-farmakolojik yöntemler bulunmaktadır. Bu bölümde çocuklardan kan alma işleminde ağrıyı azaltabilecek ve anksiyeteyi minimum seviyeye indirebilecek girişimlerin literatür taraması yapılıp bir araya getirilmesi amaçlanarak yazılmıştır.
