摘要：

Aims: To assess the analgesic effect of passive or active distraction during venipuncture in children. Methods: We studied 69 children aged 7 - 12 years undergoing venipuncture. The children were randomly divided into three groups: a control group ( C) without any distraction procedure, a group ( M) in which mothers performed active distraction, and a TV group ( TV) in which passive distraction ( a TV cartoon) was used. Both mothers and children scored pain after the procedure. Results: Main pain levels rated by the children were 23.04 ( standard deviation (SD) 24.57), 17.39 ( SD 21.36), and 8.91 (SD 8.65) for the C, M, and TV groups, respectively. Main pain levels rated by mothers were 21.30 ( SD 19.9), 23.04 (SD 18.39), and 12.17 (SD 12.14) for the C, M, and TV groups, respectively. Scores assigned by mothers and children indicated that procedures performed during TV watching were less painful (p < 0.05) than control or procedures performed during active distraction. Conclusion: TV watching was more effective than active distraction. This was due either to the emotional participation of the mothers in the active procedure or to the distracting power of television.
