Abstract

Background: Children often develop phobia toward needle pricks and invasive procedures. It is difficult for medical personnel to manage children's pain when they are in the hospital. When it comes to assessing and treating children's discomfort, nurses interact with them the most. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Buzzy Bee device on pain perception among children undergoing invasive needle pricks as part of their treatment.

Materials and methods: The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design employing simple random sampling. A post-test-only design was used. After obtaining ethical clearance, data collection was done in the pediatric outpatient department and pediatric wards of Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, between February 2020 and August 2021. Faces Pain Rating Scale for children was used to rate the pain during the procedure, which is a standardized tool. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Descriptive and inferential statistical tests were done to analyze the data.

Results: Totally, 120 children along with their parents were interested in the study. After taking appropriate parental consent and children's assent, the participants were recruited by simple random sampling. They were equally divided into 60 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group. The mean age was 8.14 (+/-2.3) in both groups. Among the 120 samples, 63 (52.5%) of them were males and 57 (47.5%) were females. The majority of them had diagnoses like thalassemia, leukemia, and sickle cell and were getting cannulated for blood transfusion therapy. t-test shows that 51.7% (31 samples) reported no pain in the experimental group and 33.3% (20 samples) reported only mild pain, whereas in the control group, only 5.0% (3 samples) reported no pain and 21.7% (13 samples) reported mild pain. About 26.7% of the samples reported very much pain as against the 7% who reported very much pain in the interventional group. There was a statistically significant difference in the pain scores between the control group and the experimental group (likelihood ratio test, P = 0.0001). The Buzzy Bee method significantly reduced the pain.

Conclusion: The introduction of a toy-like, child-friendly device, which works on the mechanism of vibrations and cold application, lessened the pain intensity during the procedure and acted as a good distractive therapy for children.

Buzzy Bee装置对学龄儿童入侵性刺穿疼痛感的影响:一项干预性研究。
背景:儿童经常会对针刺和侵入性操作产生恐惧。在医院里,医务人员很难处理儿童的疼痛。在评估和治疗儿童的不适症状时,护士与他们的互动最多。本研究的主要目的是评估 Buzzy Bee 装置对接受侵入性针刺治疗的儿童疼痛感知的有效性:本研究采用简单随机抽样的准实验设计定量方法。研究采用了仅事后测试的设计。在获得伦理许可后,数据收集工作于 2020 年 2 月至 2021 年 8 月期间在阿曼马斯喀特苏丹卡布斯大学医院儿科门诊部和儿科病房进行。采用标准化工具 "儿童面部疼痛评分量表 "对手术过程中的疼痛进行评分。数据使用 SPSS 23 版进行分析。对数据进行了描述性和推论性统计检验:共有 120 名儿童及其家长对本研究感兴趣。在征得家长同意和儿童同意后,我们通过简单随机抽样的方式招募了参与者。他们被平均分为实验组 60 人和对照组 60 人。两组的平均年龄均为 8.14 岁(+/-2.3)。在 120 个样本中,男性 63 人(52.5%),女性 57 人(47.5%)。t 检验显示,实验组有 51.7%(31 个样本)的样本报告没有疼痛,33.3%(20 个样本)的样本报告只有轻微疼痛,而对照组只有 5.0%(3 个样本)的样本报告没有疼痛,21.7%(13 个样本)的样本报告有轻微疼痛。约有 26.7% 的样本报告非常疼痛,而在介入组中,只有 7% 的样本报告非常疼痛。对照组和实验组的疼痛评分有明显的统计学差异(似然比检验,P = 0.0001)。Buzzy Bee 法明显减轻了疼痛:结论:采用类似玩具的儿童友好型装置,利用振动和冷敷机制减轻了手术过程中的疼痛强度,对儿童起到了很好的分散注意力的治疗作用。
