Impact of the PIKSEC App on Intravenous Insertion Success, Pain, and Emotional Manifestation in Pediatric Patients: a Non-Randomized Controlled Trial

"In designing the PİKSEÇ application, the Turkish validity and reliability version of the 'Difficult Intravenous Access Score' and a literal translation of the miniMAGIC instructions were utilized. The application serves as a guideline for nurses during peripheral intravenous catheter insertion, taking into account parameters such as the patient's age, urgency status, anxiety, and vein characteristics, providing tailored suggestions.~By utilizing the application, nurses can follow evidence-based guidelines more efficiently, ensuring a faster and more practical adherence to the PIVC intervention procedure, ultimately contributing to a safer peripheral intravenous catheter insertion process."

The pediatric unit's PIVC insertion process will be routinely performed in routine care.
