“…Parents’ presence during medical procedures is valued and expected by healthcare providers because it may reduce distress and worry and can help comfort the child (Cavender, Goff, Hollon, & Guzzetta, 2004; Gilboy & Hollywood, 2009; Snyder, 2004). Healthcare providers often take parental participation in restraint for granted (Hallström, Runeson, & Elander, 2002) and there are indications that parents provide most of the holding during procedures (Graham & Hardy, 2004; Homer & Bass, 2010; McGrath & Huff, 2003).…”

The aim of this study was to explore nurses’ and physicians’ perspectives on and reasoning about the use of restraint during medical procedures on newly admitted preschoolers in somatic hospital care.We analysed qualitative data from individual interviews with a video recall session at the end with seven physicians and eight nurses. They had earlier participated in video recorded peripheral vein cannulations on preschool children. The data were collected between May 2012 and May 2013 at a paediatric hospital unit in Norway.The analysis resulted in three main themes: (1) disparate views on the concept of restraint and restraint use (2), ways to limit the use of physical restraint and its negative consequences, and (3) experience with the role of parents and their influence on restraint. Perspectives from both healthcare professions were represented in all the main themes and had many similarities.The results of this study may facilitate more informed and reflective discussions of restraint and contribute to higher awareness of restraint in clinical practice. Lack of guidance and scientific attention to restraint combined with conflicting interests and values among healthcare providers may result in insecurity, individual dogmatism, and a lack of shared discussions, language, and terminology.

“…Nurses had mixed perspectives and emotions related to restraint (Brenner et al, 2014; Gilboy & Hollywood, 2009; Snyder, 2004). Some nurses had problems with accepting the use of restraint and felt that restraint could harm the relationship they tried to build with paediatric patients (Bricher, 1999; Svendsen & Bjørk, 2014).…”

[7] Children may be less able than an adult to articulate their experience or needs related to pain, which may result in under treatment of pain. There is a relationship between stress and the immune system.…”

Introduction: Venipuncture in pediatrics is one of the most distressing events and the most routinely performed invasive procedures that the child may expose during his/her hospitalization or illness. Non-pharmacological techniques are used to reduce venipuncture related pain. Distraction is a non-pharmacological technique that draws attention of the child away from the pain. Cutaneous stimulation is an independent nursing intervention that advocated relieving pain. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the interactive distraction versus cutaneous stimulation for venipuncture pain relief in school age children.Method: Design: Quasi experimental study was used. Setting: the study was conducted at Children Hospital that is affiliated to Ain Shams University Hospitals. Data was collected from Emergency and Pediatric Medical Ward. Sampling: purposive samples of 100 children were involved in this study they were divided into 2 equal groups, 50 children in each group. Tools of data collection, Tool 1: questionnaire sheet, Tool 2: Pain assessment tool, Tool 3: monitoring vital signs and oxygen saturation were done 15 minutes before vein-puncture and 15 minutes after vein-puncture. Results:The results revealed statistical significance difference between cutaneous stimulation and interactive distraction group. Conclusion:The present study concludes that; interactive distraction technique had a positive pain relive effect and was better than cutaneous stimulation in relieving children's pain during vein-puncture. There is significant difference between the effect of cutaneous stimulation and distraction techniques on children's pain during vein-puncture. Recommendations: Application of non-pharmacological pain management in hospitals as a routine care, and further studies needed to evaluate the effectiveness of other non-pharmacological management techniques.
