ABSTRACT
 Objective: A pain-free life is the right of every child. Unmanaged pain causes children to have negative experiences. On the perception of pain with the kaleidoscope used during blood collection can be reduced with appropriate nonpharmacological methods in children, thereby unnecessary distress could be prevented. The aim of this randomized controlled study was to evaluae the effect of distracted attention with the kaleidoscope used during blood collection on the perception of pain in children. Material and Methods: The population of the study consisted of children between the ages of 7-12 who came to the Blood Collection Unit of Education and Research Hospital in city center between May 30-June 30, 2019. A total of 60 children (30 kaleidoscope and 30 control groups) were selected according to the research criteria. Data were collected using the ''information form'' to determine the descriptive characteristics of the children and the ''Wong-Baker Pain Scale'' to assess the pain level of the children. Results: It was found that the children in the control group (2.30±1.49) felt more pain during the blood collection than the children in the kaleidoscope group (0.73±0.78) and the difference between them was statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: The use of kaleidoscope during blood collection was found to be effective in reducing the pain experienced by children. Kaleidoscope can be used to reduce the pain of children during blood collection.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Ağrısız bir yaşam her çocuğun hakkıdır. Yönetilmeyen ağrı çocukların olumsuz deneyimler yaşamasına neden olur. Çocuklarda kan alımı sırasında kullanılan kaleydoskop ile ağrı algısı uygun nonfarmakolojik yöntemlerle azaltılarak gereksiz sıkıntıların önüne geçilebilir. Bu randomize kontrollü çalışmanın amacı çocuklarda kan alma sırasında kullanılan kaleydoskopla dikkatin dağılmasının ağrı algısı üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın evrenini 30 Mayıs-30 Haziran 2019 tarihleri arasında şehir merkezinde bulunan Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Kan Alma Ünitesine gelen 7-12 yaş arası çocuklar oluşturmuştur. Araştırma kriterlerine göre toplam 60 çocuk (30 kaleydoskop ve 30 kontrol grubu) seçildi. Veriler, çocukların tanımlayıcı özelliklerini belirlemek için ''bilgi formu'' ve çocukların ağrı düzeyini değerlendirmek için ''Wong-Baker Ağrı Ölçeği'' kullanılarak toplandı. Bulgular: Kontrol grubundaki çocukların (2,30±1,49), kaleydoskop grubundaki çocuklara (0,73±0,78) göre kan alma sırasında daha fazla ağrı hissettikleri ve aralarındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlendi (p<0,001). Sonuç: Kan alma sırasında kaleydoskop kullanımının çocukların yaşadığı ağrıyı azaltmada etkili olduğu belirlendi. Kan alma sırasında çocukların acısını azaltmak için kaleydoskop kullanılabilir.
