The Effect of Distraction With a Kaleidoscope on the Level of Perceived Pain During Blood Sampling in Children

The children in the kaleidoscope group were shown the kaleidoscope by the researcher five minutes before the blood sampling, and they were encouraged to look at the kaleidoscope during the procedure and describe the patterns they saw. All children in the Kaleidoscope group agreed to participate in the study. All children in the kaleidoscope group were asked to look at the kaleidoscope just before the tourniquet was placed on their arms before the blood sampling procedure and to describe the patterns, they saw in it by turning it slowly during the procedure.
