Abstract

At the time of fever children need more fluids because of an increase in evaporation. Venous puncture is one of the measures to meet the patient’s fluid needs. Installation of infusion and blood collection in children is not easy because the child has a small and fragile vein, so frequent intravenous infusion and blood collection are often found because of failed intravenous cannulation. In children who are treated in the infection room also often do blood draws for diagnostic tests. The procedure gives rise to the experience of pain in children. One thing nurses can do is to apply pain reduction methods. Ice pack application is a simple, safe, effective and can be used to reduce pain. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of administration of icepack before venous puncture was performed in school-age children. This research is a type of quantitative research with a quasi- experimental method post test only nonequivalent control group. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling with a sample of 32 people divided into 2 groups: the control group and the intervention group. Data collection tools use observation sheets to measure the level of child pain using the Wong Baker Pain Rating Scale. Data analysis using the Mann Withney Test. The results showed that the pain level in the control group mostly experienced 68.8% more pain. The pain level in the intervention group mostly experienced a slight pain of 43.8%. The difference in pain level was known to be lower than the control group’s pain level 1.50 compared to the control group. Mann Withney Test results obtained p value of 0,000 means that there are significant differences between children who get icepack before venous puncture and children who do not get aice pack before venous puncture.
