Abstract
Background: Distraction technique aims at shifting a child's focus from pain to another activity or interest. The aim of study was to determine the effect of active versus passive distraction technique on controlling pain associated with invasive nursing procedures among school aged children. Subjects and method: A convenience sampling of hospitalized school aged children (75) assigned to invasive nursing procedures were participated in the study. The study was conducted at Pediatric Medical department of Tanta Main University Hospital. Three Tools were used to collect data: Structured Interview Schedule, Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and Children Behavioral Distress Observational Check List. The results: There was statistically significant difference between pain intensity in active and passive distraction groups and between control groups. In relation to, the mean total behavioral distress among children was lower in active, passive distraction groups than no distraction group with a statistically significant difference between them. Conclusion: Active distraction technique was more effective than passive or no distraction technique in decreasing intensity of pain of school aged children during invasive nursing procedures. Both active and passive distraction techniques had a positive effect in decreasing physiological signs and behavioral distress that occurred during invasive nursing procedures. Recommendation: Active distraction technique should be applied for children during invasive nursing procedures, integrated into the routine daily nursing care as an application of non-pharmacological pain management in hospitals.
