Background: reducing anxiety and pain during an invasive procedure like venipuncture is crucial for preventing the onset of stress and making the nurse’s procedures faster and smoother. Distraction techniques appear to be a viable solution. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two different distraction methods in terms of cost-effectiveness and time to perform venipuncture in a hospital setting. Materials and Methods: a randomized, controlled, interventional-blinded 3-arm parallel-group study with inpatients aged 3 to 18 years old, awake and conscious, at the first venipuncture attempt and only after children and parents signed informed consent. The pain rating scales Wong-Baker FACES, Numerical Rating Scale, and Children’s Fear Scale will be used. Conclusions: pediatric pain is a challenge for medical professionals as well as a health need that must be addressed rapidly. It is crucial to assess and apply the most effective methods for adequate analgesia in shorter periods, while also reducing healthcare costs.
