Effect of Maternal Kisses on Pain, Anxiety, and Fear

"The parents of the children in the experimental group were informed about the process before the application. The parents were asked to approach their child immediately after the invasive procedure was over, call out Let me kiss it better and kiss the child from a point not close to the place where the invasive procedure was applied. Kisses were delivered by the mother, free of oral ulcers, with a standard 5-second pressing of both lips on the affected body part followed by an exaggerated puckering sound. Pain, fear, and anxiety scales were administered to the intervention group at the 1st and 5th minutes after the application. Invasive interventions have been applied by researchers who have been working as nurses in the emergency room for 4 years."
