In this context, according to the type of invasive intervention, the nurse determines the appropriate non-pharmacological methods for the effective management of pain, taking into account the child's individuality, developmental stage and clinical presentation. For children during the hospitalisation process, the removal of a peripheral venous line is a painful and stressful experience, as is the insertion of a peripheral venous line. Children experience acute pain during the removal of hypoallergenic adhesives used for fixation of the peripheral venous line. The practice guideline recommends the use of alcohol-free silicone-based aerosol sprays for the removal of medical adhesive/ fixation materials (NICU Brain Sensitive Care Committee, 2015).In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of ball squeezing (active distraction) as a distraction method and the use of alcohol-free silicone-based aerosol adhesive remover spray on pain and fear in children aged 6-9 years during peripheral intravenous cannula removal., conditionsModule conditions: Procedural Pain, conditions: Fear of Pain, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE, maskingInfo masking: DOUBLE, maskingDescription: The children and their parents will be blinded to the groups. The principal researchers (R1, R2) will be blinded to the research hypotheses. The opaque envelopes are stored in a locked cabinet by the researcher who performed the randomization. Data entries will be performed using the codes A, B and C. Codes will be shared with the researchers after statistical analyses are conducted and the research report is written., whoMasked: PARTICIPANT, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 96, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Standard Care, interventions name: Adhesive Remover Spray, interventions name: Ball Squeezing + Adhesive Remover Spray, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Pain assesed by Wong-Baker FACES, primaryOutcomes measure: Fear by Children's Fear Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Pain assesed by Wong-Baker FACES, secondaryOutcomes measure: Fear by Children's Fear Scale, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 6 Years, maximumAge: 9 Years, stdAges: CHILD, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Mersin University, city: Mersin, state: Yenişehir, zip: 33343, country: Turkey, geoPoint lat: 36.79526, lon: 34.61792, hasResults: False
