In every society, changes occur, either in a slow process or a fast process which involves both positive and
negative elements. Change is a broad and complex concept. As we have noticed, it is an alteration that
takes place in concepts, practices and situations. It also indicates an alteration between points in time. Similarly, we can notice
many changes in the Vaddar community. These changes may benet or damage the community or society. With the passage of
time, changes also take place. It indicates nothing is permanent and as days go by everything changes. These changes may
come to our notice or may not come to our notice. In the social eld also, changes take place either at a slow pace or fast. For
instance, we know women are hard workers but with the advancement of science and technology, especially urban women
started using grinding machines, washing machines etc., to reduce their workload. So changes in every walk of a woman's life
have taken place in accordance with their modern lifestyle. Individuals and materials change gradually but such changes are
easy in a social world. Change depends upon the speed of time, direction and materials which come under the transition.
A CASE REPORT OF ISOLATION OF MYCOBACTERIUM ABSCESSUS IN A CHILD OF MENDELIAN SUSCEPTIBILITY TO MYCOBACTERIAL DISEASES.

Published: July 2023

Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases (MSMD) is an inborn error categorized by defects in intrinsic and innate immunity with defects in the production and levels of Interferon ฀ (IFN฀). There is vulnerability to less virulent mycobacteria, such as Bacillus Calmette-Gu´erin (BCG) vaccine strains, as well as non tubercular mycobacteria (NTM). A denitive diagnosis is made by genetic analysis. The NTM group, though ubiquitous in nature, presents mostly in patients with immunodeciency or underlying lung disease. A case of NTM in a patient with MSMD has been portrayed here accompanied by difculties in diagnosis and management in a resource limited setting.
Effects of Structural Change Practices on Employee’s Quality of Service in Quoted Insurance Companies in Nigeria
Authors: LAWAL Oloyede Raheem , GENTY Kabiru Ishola
Published: July 2023

The research looked at how listed Nigerian insurance businesses have changed structurally and how well their employees are treated. Structural change in Nigeria’s listed insurance businesses is the primary focus of this research, which examines the impact on employee service quality. Survey research was used in the study. There were 4,822 workers of the 23 listed insurance firms in Nigeria that were included in the study’s population. The target demographic was represented by a sample of 480 participants. A multi-stage sampling method was used to choose the participants. Stratified and purposive sampling methods were used in this study. A modified questionnaire produced by previous researchers and divided into three parts was employed in the study. Through the use of content validity, the researcher was able to verify the reliability of the research instrument. Because the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient reliability result of structural change was 0.718 and the employee’s quality of service was 0.725, the questionnaire was declared relable. Regression analysis was used to examine the presented hypothesis. Employees’ quality of service is negatively affected by structural change (beta = -0.0851, P-value = 0.2090-0.05) but is statistically insignificant (beta = -0.0851). But this research found that structural modifications allow service organizations, including the insurance business, to share a same vision and goal. As a result, every organization that is going through a period of transition needs a solid organizational structure in place. Consequently, it was proposed that the workers who are directly engaged about structural change should only be permitted to participate in the decision making process about the adjustment.

Influence of Sex and Job Satisfaction on Turnover Intentions among Private School Teachers
Authors: ALAUSA Waheed Moa-Liberty
Published: July 2023

Teaching is an essential profession in building human capital in any society. However, retaining this workforce in schools in Nigeria has become a herculean task over the years. This study examined sex and job satisfaction on turnover intention of teachers in private schools. Data were collected using cross-sectional survey design technique from 490 respondents in twenty-five private secondary schools across three Local Government Areas. 263 male and 227 female were conveniently sampled, with mean age of 23.1 and SD of 5.2; 361 married, 123 single, and 6 divorcees. Result showed that sex significantly influenced turnover intentions (t = 7.98, df (488), P<0.5). Also, there was a significant influence of job satisfaction on turnover intentions of the private school teachers (t = 2.64, df (488), P <0.5). On the basis of this, the researcher recommended that teachers’ job satisfaction programmes should be taking seriously by management of private schools so as to reduce their turnover intentions. Teachers should not be overburdened and time of engagement should probably be made more flexible for male teachers in private schools; they should also be more incentivized so as to attract them to the job;.

Foreword. Dostoevsky: Paradox, Humor, Deconstruction

A foreword to the present book and to each of the 15 articles that are part of it. While the analysis of humor, paradox, and deliberate deconstruction has generally occupied a marginal position in the study of Dostoevsky’s universe, it seems impossible to understand his poetics without pointed attention to these categories. The present book aims to fill the existing gap by focusing on the nature of ambivalent humor, paradoxicality, and methods of “de-automatizing” consciousness through deconstruction. It is precisely the dialogical and paradoxical nature of Dostoevsky’s artistic method that enables such different and sometimes contradictory readings.
Парадоксальность как специфика художественного творчества Ф.М. Достоевского: приемы, стилемы, воздействие
Authors: Kotel'nikov Vladimir
Published: July 2023

Paradoxality as a Specific Feature of Dostoevsky’s Literary Works. Techniques, Stylistics, Mechanisms of Action

All works by Dostoevsky reveal the presence of paradox. These paradoxes act according to mechanisms that depend either on the fictional (polyphonic) or nonfictional (monologic) text “dominant.” Taking as a starting point (a) the arguments of G.S. Morson, according to whom paradoxes “seem to carry the quintessence of ‘Dostoevskyism’, particularly of his brand of humor,” (b) the analysis of Dostoevsky’s paradoxical humor; and (c) the three main categories of paradoxes (“empty or rhetorical”, “negative”, “positive”), we argue that Dostoevsky applies a fourth type of paradox, one that affects neither the premise nor the ending of the paradoxical structure, but their intrinsic logical interconnection. This article analyses a repertoire of paradoxical techniques used by Dostoevsky, focusing on the destabilizing humoristic function they enact.
Деконструктивные практики XIX века (от натуральной школы до Л.Н. Толстого) и Ф.М. Достоевский
Authors: Borowski Marcin Maksymilian
Published: July 2023

Deconstruction in the 19th Century (from the Natural School to Leo Tolstoy) and Fyodor Dostoevsky

The modern understanding of deconstruction arose from post-structuralism and implies distrust of semblance, the outward appearance of any ideology or structure, together with the search for a hidden interior. Dostoevsky renounces one-dimensionality and shows its deconstructing nature. He considers it a prejudice to believe that disclosing the hidden and forbidden has more “truth” in it, as is evident from his dispute with Tolstoy, who uses the principle of exposing the ignoble background of a supposedly noble national ideology to criticize the “defenders of the Slavic brothers” in Anna Karenina. Dostoevsky refuses to recognize the results of deconstruction (the denial of the declared) as the last and only version of the truth about reality. His approach can be defined as the “deconstruction of deconstruction.”
Юмор и ирония как средства борьбы с атеизмом в дискурсе Ф.М. Достоевского
Authors: Aloe Stefano
Published: July 2023

Humor and Irony as a Means of Combating Atheism in the Discourse of F.M. Dostoevsky

The question of the God’s existence troubled Dostoevsky throughout his life. He created a very convincing portrait of the atheist of his time. He did not consider unbelievers immoral, but only “infected with recklessness”, and when speaking of his atheist acquaintances, often admitted that they were good people. Dostoevsky created the image of an atheist as an intelligent person, who is guided not by the heart, but by the mind and who often evokes sympathy for his questing, his thinking, and his suffering (like Versilov or Ivan Karamazov). If we carefully consider the “atheistic” characters of Dostoevsky, however, we will see that atheism is a phenomenon associated with something both bad and funny. Through humorous details, Dostoevsky imperceptibly creates an image of the “atheist” as a comical and frivolous person.

A Gentle Creature’s Paradox

The aim of this article is to analyze a smile as a mimetic, nonverbal facial expression. Although a smile most often displays joy and pleasure, it sometimes expresses emotions such as sadness, cruelty, anger, etc. This analysis aims to focus on the paradoxical “mistrustful, silent, and evil smile” of A Gentle Creature. Her smile marks the beginning of her life with the Pawnbroker and it is her companion until the end of her life. The paradox of smile illuminates other paradoxes such as that of communication (verbal/nonverbal, communication/its negation), of death (suicide and the icon, destruction/resurrection, silence/birth of words), of the Pawnbroker’s story (author-narrator, narrative/story, fantastic/realistic, contradictions in the story), and of the event (real event/event in the narrator’s mind).
Bambine degli anni Cinquanta per ragazzine degli anni Novanta. Famiglie ed educazione nei romanzi di Bianca Pitzorno
Authors: Martinelli Chiara
Published: July 2023

The paper deals with the analysis of the so-called Bianca Pitzorno’s “series of Lossai”, named after the imaginary town where the famous novelist set the events she narrated. The series can be studied in the light of discovering how education principles accepted in Pre-Sixtieth years were seen after students’ movement. The series, which achieved a great success, is set up in the years the writer grew up – i.e., the end of Fourties and the first years of the Fifities. Main characters are always creative and unconventional girls who had to face with limits and stereotypes forged by the society and carried on by their families and mothers firstly. Mothers created by Bianca Pitzorno, indeed, adhered to gender and social stereotypes and forced their daughters to do the same, without understanding and appreciating their creativity and their intellectual capacities. Therefore, a pessimist view of education in the Fifties is emerging from Pitzorno’s book, as it is perceived and presented as unsuitable for developing children’s self-determination.
Radicare nuove voci. Storie di donne tra mediazione, intercultura ed empowerment
Authors: Pescarmona Isabella , Gozzelino Giulia , Milani Lorena
Published: July 2023

Starting from a pedagogical interpretation of the radicalization of conflicts, the article proposes a new perspective to see migrant women and mothers as agents of positive actions and relationships in family contexts and in the communities where they live, by overturning the stereotypes that accompany the representations and educational interventions, which are often addressed to them. Through a life professional story of a Nigerian ethno-clinical mediator, the article will shed light on the different dimensions of conflicts that are at the intersection of these women’s life and challenge migrant women, educators, institutions and the mediator herself by activating a process of transformation, in which reclaiming one’s own voice is a way to re-appropriating of one’s own identity and future. Listening to these women’s voices and adopting an intercultural approach allows us to put down new “roots” and nurture more equitable narratives to engage, us all, for a more inclusive society.
Recuperare il ‘materno’ nella dimensione di cura autentica: una proposta pedagogica contro il radicalismo violento giovanile
Authors: Muschitiello Angela
Published: July 2023

In the current era in which capitalism and functionalism have weakened human ties and deconstructed society, boys and girls live in a condition of worrying passive nihilism that is leading to the spread of increasingly alarming phenomena of violent radicalization. In this perspective, this contribution intends to reflect on the need to recover ‘the maternal dimension’ in the parent-child relationship. A dimension that symbolically represents ‘authentic human care’, pedagogically understood as an essential quality of the human condition (Iori, 2007) which in its essence responds to an ontological and vital need: that of continuing to be; to an ethical necessity: that of being there with meaning; and to a therapeutic need: that of repairing being there (Mortari, 2015). A cure to be revalued, today, to cope with the human ‘un-bond’ that characterizes the social ‘description’.
Donne migranti come agenti di prevenzione della radicalizzazione e degli estremismi, nei e nelle giovani delle seconde generazioni
Authors: Marchych Mustafa
Published: July 2023

Starting from the analysis, in the migratory landscape, of radicalisation and extremism and of the preventive nature of women as role models, this paper analyses socialisation process of second-generation migrants. More specifically, it focuses on identity crisis, conflictual family relationships and adolescence struggles, which can ultimately create fertile ground for extremism and radicalisation. The study stresses the role of migrant women, as agents of positive change in the prevention of radicalisation, also underlying the need for further studies about their idiosyncrasies and their pre-migratory experiences.

Published: July 2023

The following paper describes the experience of the “Re.boot – Capacity Building Paths and Actions for Community Well-being” Project, funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (in Italian, FAMI) 2014-2020. This Project aims to qualify and strengthen the system of social welfare services in the Metropolitan Area of Bologna in order to counteract situations of hardship and vulnerability of third-country nationals who belong to families or single parents with dependent minors. Through the description of the project design, the activities carried out and the multidisciplinary work teams, we will try to detail the actions to strengthen networking and support parenting. The operational presentation of two paths of taking charge will allow us to highlight the growing risk of marginalisation of foreign families residing in Italy, due to a dramatic disparity of access to the economic, social and cultural resources necessary for the development of their children.
Tra Child Guarantee e “Patti educativi di comunità”. La rilevanza di approcci inclusivi basati su pratiche territoriali di contrasto alla povertà educativa minorile
Authors: Scialdone Antonello , Marucci Marco , Porcarelli Cristiana
Published: July 2023

This paper follows the recent EU Council Recommendation no. 1004 dated 14th June 2021) concerning the European Child Guarantee and investigates some aspects of child educational poverty. The pilot phase of implementation of the Child Guarantee in Italy is described through different levels of research and intervention models relating to specific paths such as the relaunch of family custody, social housing, and development of skills for the transition from school to work, contrast to educational poverty and support for families. The fight against child educational poverty requires the involvement of all levels of governance, public/private partnerships as well as a particular focus on territory. In this perspective, the “Community agreements for education” are an example of good practice characterized by a co-planning approach and the enhancement of the territorial dimension. Child Guarantee and Community agreements for education could become indispensable tools for the feasibility of policies aimed at tackling the phenomenon of child educational poverty.
«Ciò che non si vede non esiste» La documentazione pedagogica come narrativa dell’esperienza per e con la famiglia
Authors: Pandini-Simiano Luciane
Published: July 2023

This article focuses on pedagogical documentation as a narrative of the educational experience for the family. As argumentative resource, the elements of a doctoral research in education, carried out in the Italian city of Pistoia, are presented. Among the privileged aspects are the documentation produced in the city’s crèches, their different forms, typologies and, above all, the common threads and interweavings that make up the relationship of educators with families. The theoretical premise of the work is based on the idea that pedagogical documentation is a narrative that offers visibility and supports educational experiences for and with families in early childhood education services. Considering the different forms and types of ECEC services, two common threads have been identified in the documentation: the image of an active child, with the capacity to grow and establish relationships, and an educational context potentially rich in experiences. The interweaving of the threads occurs in the relationships between educators, children, and families.

"Gulliver’s Travels" e il conservatorismo sovversivo delle stampe satiriche ottocentesche
Authors: Natali Ilaria
Published: July 2023

The visual quality of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, together with its popular and folkloric ingredients, has greatly contributed to the novel’s immediate transmedial reception and was central to its success during the so-called “golden age” of visual satire in the British Isles. Starting with the end of the eighteenth century, caricaturists transformed Swift’s work into a symbol of society’s mechanisms and structures. Indeed, in its frequent nineteenth-century adaptations into graphic form, Gulliver’s Travels has been exploited to identify social or political identity and otherness, to express suspicion against any form of authority, and to undermine monologic perspectives on current political events.
Resuscitating the Self through Verse: Alternative Histories in the Poetry of Eavan Boland
Authors: Wahhab Al-Samahy Somaya Abdul
Published: July 2023

Since the dawn of civilisation human life has witnessed multifarious modes of resistance. As an arena for cultivating human experience, literature provides enriching representations of resisting acts. As a matter of fact, the emergence of postcolonial dialectics in the second half of the twentieth century has rendered resistance a prevalent literary theme. Owing to the turbulences that had always cast their shadow upon this magnificent country, Ireland has maintained a unique literary tradition replete with images of resistance. Certainly, poetry, that has been a cornerstone to this tradition, has its ample share of these images. The Irish Canon had contributed a number of master poets such as W.B. Yeats, Seamus Heaney, and George William Russell, all of whom have used their poetic output as a vehicle for resistance against British hegemony. Yet, this rich poetic tradition did not secure a position for women poets. Irish women poets were not officially welcomed into the poetic arena until the second half of the nineteenth century. Their emergence, however, was shaped by their perception by their male contemporaries. Such a strict patriarchal society as the Irish would not have acknowledged their existence easily. Irish women poets then had led a double resistance. This dilemma is amply depicted in Eavan Boland’s poetry. Born in 1944, Boland chronicles various aspects of post-independent Irish life. Her poetry tends to tackle women’s lives and domestic affairs during times of unrest and turmoil as well as her attempts to establish herself as a woman poet. The proposed paper tends to investigate the techniques and imagery employed by Boland as a means of resisting both political hegemony and patriarchal domination.
Gerontology in Bryony Lavery’s A Wedding Story (2000) and Sebastian Barry’s Hinterland (2002)
Authors: Khalil Rania Mohamed Rafik Abdel Fattah
Published: July 2023

Old age is perceived as a narrative of decline, recently, an alternative perspective was introduced known as positive aging or Gerotranscendance. This paper examines ageing in Bryony Lavery’s A Wedding Story (2000) and Sebastian Barry’s Hinterland (2002) through the theory of gerontology. Gerontology in British and Irish modern theatre, according to Giovanna Tallone (2020) and Heather Ingman (2018), is a new category in literary studies and theory. The paper aims to examine the challenges of retaining agency in old age in comparison to the notion of aging as a process of inner harmony further proving that despite the process of ageing being an individualised experience, the commonalities of growing old are universal as depicted in Lavery’s and Barry’s works.
Gendered Discourses and Actor Representation in Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl Series: A Corpus-Based Study
Authors: Hamed Dalia Mohammed
Published: July 2023

The Artemis Fowl series (2001-2012) is described by its Irish author Eoin Colfer as “Die Hard with Fairies”. Artemis Fowl is an-eight book series of adventures and supernatural actions. The starring character, Artemis Fowl, is a twelve-year- old criminal mastermind. His primary goal is to pursue money, which makes him kidnap the fairy leader. This results in a continuing fight between two worlds: Artemis’s and the fairies’. The Fowl adventures present many themes, of which gendered discourses and actor representation inspire this research. This paper examines the eight-series child books via Corpus Linguistics apparatus. AntConc is a corpus analysis software utilized to generate wordlists of each book so that words with higher frequency may be investigated in their context of utterance via the concordance toolkit. The next step aims to detect the occurrence of search terms pertaining to gendered discourse and actor description. In this concern, the contributions presented by Tannen (1993, 1999), Edley (2001), Weatherall and Gallois (2003), Sunderland (2004), and Wetherell and Edley (2014) are considered in the detection of gendered language. Van Leeuwen’s taxonomy (1996, 2008) of social actor representation is also considered to detect actor descriptions. Accordingly, the eight-series adventure novels are linguistically analyzed so that the main themes, gender identity markers and actor representation may be uncovered. The study supports the discursive psychologists’ belief that gender is created and enhanced via discourse. The study is original in incorporating corpus linguistic toolkits, discursive psychology and discourse analysis to child Irish fantasy literature to expose the gendered-identities negotiated and the features representing social actors.
Yeats as a Folklorist: The Celtic Twilight and the Irish Folklore
Authors: Carrassi Vito
Published: July 2023

W.B. Yeats had a key role in the Irish folklore. Before writing his masterpieces, often arising froman original encounter between folklore and literature, the young Yeats was directly concerned withthe collecting of folklore. Initially he had worked as an editor, drawing his material from a varietyof XIX century’s narrative collections; however, through this editing he had already sketched hisown idea of folklore. With his later work, The Celtic Twilight, Yeats became a first-hand collector,thus acting as a folklorist. A singular kind of folklorist, indeed, who addressed his materialaccording to views and goals quite distant from the canonical approach of an ethnographic research.His was the approach of a writer seeking in folklore a different kind of literature. Hence, are welegitimized to regard Yeats as a folklorist? How to evaluate his unorthodox methodology? Was hisapproach unsuitable? Or, perhaps, by treating his material as a dynamic, living issue, rather than astatic, outdated item, was this approach more fitting for understanding folklore? These are somequestions I discuss in my paper, so as to develop a critical reassessment of the concept of folklore,its methods and aims.

The analysis of a text from among the noble texts is considered one of the most beautiful literary arts that aim to uncover hidden treasures, which carry in their shells many principles and values, in a dress of beautiful words, sentences and useful structures, inherited by generations, that they imitate in their lives to give them some intellectual and emotional balance.
This is evident in the poem (Nashed al-Jabbar), which serves as a model for these texts, grants confidence in people's souls, and builds dignity and pride in their hearts, and that challenge tinged with optimism, victory, and patience is the key to happiness. These valuable ideas appeared through the phonetic, structural, and semantic timbre that the poem included, which the analyzes of this research revealed.

The Arab region was and still is one of the regions in which manifestations of American interest were manifested politically and economically, after the emergence of the United States of America as a strong competitor to the Soviet presence in the Arab region after World War II (1939-1945).
The centering of international relations around the two centers of polarization had a great and significant impact on the political conditions of the Arab world. The division of the world into two camps led to an internal Arab division represented by the tendency to embrace one of the two directions. This is on the official level. The new one represented by the Soviet Union and another that supports the capitalist approach, headed by the United States of America, but the dominant character and the broadest step was for capitalism.

BACKGROUND: Oral mucositis is an injury of normal mucosal tissue with an acute inflammation of the oral, tongue, and pharyngeal mucosa after exposure to chemo-radiotherapy. Post chemoradiotherapy oral mucositis is commonly accompanied by painful swallowing or odynophagia. Povidone iodine 1% is an antiseptic mouthwash that widely used to prevent infections in the oral cavity.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 1% povidone iodine mouthwash on the incidence of oral mucositis in patients with head and neck malignancy at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang.   
METHOD: This study was single random blinded experimental study, with total samples of 44 patients with head and neck malignancy after chemoradiotherapy. The samples divided into treatment group of 22 samples with 1% povidone iodine mouthwash and control group of 22 samples with NaCl 0.9% recruited using single random sampling at Dr. Kariadi Semarang General Central Hospital in 2022. The effect of 1% povidone iodine mouthwash on the incidence of oral mucositis and odynophagia was analyzed using the Fischer Exact and Mann Whitney test.
RESULT: In the 1% povidone iodine mouthwash group day 15th, 21 patients (95.5%) were found without mucositis and 1 patient (4.5%) with mucositis oral grade I. In the 1% povidone iodine mouthwash group, 21 people (4.5%) were found without odynophagia and 1 people (4.5%) had odynophagia. There was an association between oral mucositis and odynophagia on povidone iodine 1% group (p < 0.05).       
CONCLUSION: Povidone iodine 1% mouthwash can affect the incidence of oral mucositis in patients with head and neck carcinoma. Povidone iodine 1% mouthwash can reduce the incidence of oral mucositis and odynophagia compared to placebo in patients with head and neck carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) was aimed to simplify TB therapy and facilitate physician and patient compliance.
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the effect of FDC antituberculosis and separate formulations (SF) on clinical symptoms, weight gain, adverse effect and plasma concentration in TB/HIV cases during the intensive phase.
METHOD: Prospective cohort study was conducted in public hospital, Jakarta. We recruited TB-HIV patients in May 2018-May 2019. Patients (over than 18 years old) diagnosed with TB-HIV who consumed either FDC or SF and had not received antiretroviral. A total of 36 subjects were included in this study, 20 subjects in FDC group and 16 subjects in SF group.
RESULT:  There was not significant different between FDC and SF groups with an improvement of clinical symptoms (P = 0.70) and weight gain (P = 1.00). Gastrointestinal syndrome was 75% in FDC group; 62.5 % in SF group. Mean (±SD) of rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide plasma concentration after 2 weeks therapy in FDC group were 5.49 mg/L (±3.40 mg/L), 1.35 mg/L (±1.20 mg/L), 19.87 mg/L (±17.00 mg/L), respectively. Mean (±SD) of rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide plasma concentration in SF group were 6.42 mg/L (±4.80mg/L), 0.87 mg/L (±0.70 mg/L), 5.03 mg/L (±7.60 mg/L), respectively.
CONCLUSION: There was not significant different between FDC and SF groups on improvement of clinical symptoms and weight gain in intensive phase of therapy, the highest of adverse effects was gastrointestinal syndrome, and all subjects had normal reference ranges of rifampicin concentrations, and isoniazid and pyrazinamide below the normal range.
Effect Of Giving A Vibrator With A Cooler On Pain Level In Childhood With Venipuncture In Tidore Kepulauan Hospital
Authors: Abdullah Fadila , Anwar Nursanti
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND : Atraumatic care is therapeutic care that is carried out as part of an intervention to remove or suppress psychological or physical stress suffered by a child. The act of minimizing pain, stress and trauma to children when given at the time of blood collection is part of the principle of atraumatic care. One of the atraumatic actions that can be performed on children is the use of a vibrator with a cooler to minimize pain when stabbing a vein
AIMS : to determine the effectiveness of giving a vibrator accompanied by a cold compress against pain in children when taking venous blood.
METHODS : The design of this research is true experimental with a post-test only control group design. Researchers divided into 2 groups, namely the intervention and control groups were taken randomly. Then the researcher made a vibrator with a cooler that had been previously tested on 30 adults, then after being declared to have passed the ethical study it would be applied to children when taking venous blood, assessing children's pain using the FLACC instrument (face, legs, activity, cry and controllability). The study was conducted at the Tidore Islands Hospital. Data processing was carried out previously by testing the homogeneity and normality test, if normally distributed it will use the independent t-test to assess the difference in the average of the two groups, while if it is not normally distributed it will be tested with Mann-Whitney.
RESULT : The results of this study indicate that the characteristics of respondents according to age are mostly 4 years old. In the control group the average age of children is 3.87 while in the intervention group the average age of children is 3.93. Most of the experience of having blood drawn in both groups had blood drawn before. Based on gender characteristics, most of the control and intervention groups were women. There are differences in pain scores in the control and intervention groups. The mean pain score in the intervention group was 3.13 and the mean pain score in the control group was 7.87. The results of statistical tests using Mann Whitney showed that there was a significant difference in pain during venipuncture in the intervention group and the control group (p=0.013).
CONCLUSION : The results of the statistical test show that there was a significant difference in pain in the intervention group and the control group (p=0.013). The use of a cooling vibrator can be an alternative to reduce pain in children during venipuncture.
