Pain in child undergoing venipuncture: effects of an anesthetic cream

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Objective:

The goal that we draw for this study was to evaluate the effect of applying a anesthetic cream, to relief pain, in children undergoing venipuncture.

Methods:

It is a quasi-experimental study, the sample consists of 80 children, from 5 to 10 years, to which was applied a form. The data were processed using the SPSS (version 18.0).

Results:

The statistical test carried out shows that there is a significant interaction (F (2.156) = 45.436, p = 0.000; η²p = 0.368; Power = 1.000) between the mean pain intensity at the three evaluative moments of the experimental group and the control group. The pain intensity scores are always lower in the experimental group.

Conclusion:

Study results appear to demonstrate that the anesthetic cream applied before venipuncture procedure, reduces the intensity of pain in children undergoing venipuncture, making it less traumatic.
