Effects of Parental Holding on Pain Response in Young Children During Cystometry

After the urethral catheter is inserted, the participant lies on an examination table lined with paper towels and diapers.

Holding is performed as a non-pharmacological intervention to relieve pain in children during cystometry. After the urethral catheter is inserted, the participant's parent sits in the chair, placing a paper towel and diaper on their lap. The researcher lifts the participant by the shoulder and puts them on their parent's lap, and the parent holds the participant in their arms.
