The effect of combined stimulation of external cold and vibration during ımmunization on pain and anxiety levels in children. Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing, 30, 3, 228-235.1089-94721532-8473https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jopan.2014.05.011https://hdl.handle.net/11492/3005WOS:000355154100010PubMed: 26003770Purpose: Procedures involving needles are the most common and major sources of pain in children. External cold and vibration via Buzzy (MMJ Labs, Atlanta, GA) is a method that combines cooling and vibration. Design: This study investigated the effect of the combined stimulation of skin with external cold and vibration via Buzzy on the pain and anxiety levels in children during immunization. Methods: This study was a prospective, randomized controlled trial. Children were randomized into two groups: experimental (external cold and Buzzy) and control (no intervention). The pain and anxiety levels of the children were assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES scale and Children Fear Scale. Finding: The experimental group showed significantly lower pain and anxiety levels than the control group during immunization. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: The combined stimulation of skin with external cold and vibration can be used to reduce pain and anxiety during pediatric immunization.enBuzzyExternal Cold and VibrationPediatric ImmunizationProcedural Pain and AnxietyPediatric NursingArticle303228235info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess2-s2.0-84930245287WOS:0003551541000102600377010.1016/j.jopan.2014.05.011Q1Q4
