Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether Pranic healing, based on Rogers' therapeutic touch nursing theory, can reduce pain and improve cardiorespiratory indices during venipuncture in children. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does Pranic healing reduce the pain experienced by children during venipuncture? How does Pranic healing affect cardiorespiratory indices, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and arterial oxygen saturation, during and after venipuncture?

Researchers will compare the effects of Pranic healing to routine care (without Pranic healing) to determine its effectiveness.

Participants will:

Receive Pranic healing or routine care before, during, and after venipuncture Have their pain levels, heart rate, respiratory rate, and arterial oxygen saturation measured Be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (Pranic healing) or the control group (routine care) Have their pain and physiological responses monitored and recorded during the procedure

Primary Outcome Measures: Pain Levels During Venipuncture, The primary outcome measure will assess changes in pain levels experienced by children during venipuncture. Pain will be evaluated using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale, which is a validated tool for measuring pain in pediatric patients. The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale ranges from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating "no pain" and 10 indicating "the worst pain possible." Higher scores represent worse pain outcomes., Pain levels will be measured at three time points: 5 minutes before venipuncture, during venipuncture, and 5 minutes after venipuncture.
Secondary Outcome Measures: Changes in Arterial Oxygen Saturation, This secondary outcome measure will evaluate the changes in arterial oxygen saturation levels before, during, and after venipuncture. Oxygen saturation will be monitored using a pulse oximeter., Arterial oxygen saturation will be recorded at 5 minutes before venipuncture, during venipuncture, and 5 minutes after venipuncture.|Changes in Respiratory Rate, The respiratory rate of children will be monitored to observe any changes due to the Pranic Healing intervention. The rate will be measured in breaths per minute., Respiratory rate will be measured 5 minutes before venipuncture, during venipuncture, and 5 minutes after venipuncture.|Changes in Pulse Rate, The pulse rate of children will be assessed to detect any variations due to the Pranic Healing intervention. Pulse rate will be measured in beats per minute., Pulse rate will be recorded at 5 minutes before venipuncture, during venipuncture, and 5 minutes after venipuncture.
