“…Watching cartoons with a tablet is an effective distraction method, and can reduce pain and fear by concentrating the child's attention on a stimulus other than pain, with both visual and auditory stimuli 7,8. Our findings are consistent with previous studies that showed children, with ages ranging from 3 to 12 years, who watched cartoons during blood draw procedures experienced less pain and fear 7,8,11,41,42. Similarly, Sönmez Düzkaya et al29 found that watching cartoons with a tablet during blood draws was efficient in decreasing the level of pain and anxiety in children 29.…”

Background: Blood draw procedures can cause pain, fear, and anxiety in the pediatric population. Purpose: To compare the effects of watching cartoons either with virtual reality (VR) or via a tablet on pain, fear, and anxiety during venous blood draw procedures in children. Methods: A randomized controlled study was conducted with 159 children aged 5 to 12 years in the pediatric emergency unit. The 3 groups included cartoons with VR (n = 53) or a tablet (n = 53), and a control group (n = 53). Results: Children in the 2 intervention groups had lower perceptions of pain, fear, and anxiety, with those watching cartoons via VR having the lowest perceptions. Conclusions: Findings from this study showed a reduction in the perception of pain, fear, and anxiety in children who watched cartoons with VR or tablets during blood draw procedures. Nurses should consider using these nonpharmacological methods to reduce pain, fear, and anxiety, among pediatric patients.

Pain is often a subjective sensation having physiological, psychological and emotional implications for an individual. In a hospital setting, children usually perceive unpredictable pain which is often procedure related that can impact both emotionally and psychologically. Perception of pain varies with multiple factors such as age, gender, intellectual level, personality, parental care and previous experience of painful procedure/ suppression of pain using pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic measures. Our study aimed to assess the effectiveness of animated cartoons as a distraction strategy to reduce behavioral response to pain perception among children undergoing venepuncture and to assess and compare pain perception in children with and without cartoon distraction. We had total of 60 children participated in the study group, we found that children who were distracted perceived less pain (p < 0.001), also the number of attempts required to do venepuncture also reduced significantly (p < 0.001). We concluded that, distraction technique is a simple yet effective tool in alleviating pain during venepuncture in preschool children. This technique can help in reduction of anxiety among children.

“…Slight preponderance of female participants over male participants was noticed. A similar study conducted by Devi CP, et al 12 on the effect of cartoon animation video during venepuncture on pain related responses in preschool age children reported most children were in the 3-4 years age group. However, contrary to the present study majority were males in both the experimental and control groups, where maximum children had no previous experience of venepuncture or hospitalization.…”

Background: Distraction techniques are suitable measures for pain alleviation in young children during routine invasive procedures like venepuncture, serving as a positive stimulus drawing attention away from a painful experience. Objectives:To evaluate the effectiveness of cartoons animation videos as a pain alleviant during venepuncture along with delineating association of pain with selected variables. Method: This study followed a quasi-experimental design to monitor 60 children in the age group of 3-6 years selected by non-probability purposive sampling technique. The experimental and control group were composed of 30 children each. Baseline Proforma and an r-FLACC pain scale were used to measure and gather data. Cartoon animation video as an intervention was administered to the experimental group participants undergoing venepuncture and its effectiveness was estimated using an unpaired t-test. Association between pain perception and selected variables was analysed by a Chi-square test.Results: Divergence between pain perception among the control and experimental group was highlighted by the mean pain scores of 2.9 ± 0.25 and 2.3±0.46 respectively (p <0.001). Effectiveness of cartoon animation videos as a distraction technique for pain alleviation was found to be significant (p<0.01). No significant association was found between the level of pain perceived by preschool children during venepuncture and the selected variables (p>0.05) _________________________________________
