ABSTRACT

India is home to the largest child population in the world. The development of children is the first priority on the Country’s development agenda, not because they are the most vulnerable but because they are our supreme assets and also the future human resource of our country. Non-pharmacological procedures or technique to reduce procedure related pain and avoid potential drug’s side effects are generally less expensive and can be performed independently by a nurse. It is considered that these therapies help the standard pharmacological treatment in pain management. Cold treatment consists of applying a cooling material or device on any part of the body. Cold treatment which is a simple and cheap treatment method has an important place in non-drug therapies for pain management. “A study to assess the effectiveness of local cold application on response of pain during intravenous cannulation procedure among school aged children admitted in selected hospitals at Udaipur” The findings showed that in experimental group obtained mean ± SD Score was 1.77 ± 1.04 whereas in control group obtained mean ± SD Score was 3.50 ± 0.78.the obtained t = 2.45 (P=0.05,significant). it showed there is significant relationship between effect of local cold application and pain score among school aged children undergone IV cannulation procedure. Hence research hypothesis H1 is proved and accepted. In experimental group Age in years (1.64), Gender (2.01), No. of children in family (4.32), Birth order (4.41), Duration of hospitalization (0.77), Any previous exposure to IV cannulation (1.43), Whether parents are allowed with child during IV cannulation (3.28) is less than the tabular value (p<0.05 level) indicate there is no significant association between pain with selected demographic variables in experimental group. Where as in control group Age in years (0.56), Gender (2.04), No. of children in family (4.22), Duration of hospitalization (7.36), Birth order (4.23), Any previous exposure to IV cannulation (0.05), So there is a significant association between the pain and selected socio-demographic variables of hospitalized school aged children undergoing IV cannulation procedure. Hence Research hypothesis H2 is accepted. The main focus of the study was to assess the effectiveness of local cold application on response of pain during intravenous cannulation procedure among school aged children admitted in selected hospitals. The mean post test score for pain among experimental group Mean=1.77 was lower than the mean post test pain score for the control group Mean=3.50 and the calculated t = 2.45 greater than the table value. The finding showed that local cold application was effective in reducing pain among school aged children undergone IV cannulation procedure. So there is significant relationship between effect of local cold application and pain score among school aged children undergone IV cannulation procedure. Hence, Research hypothesis H1 accepted.
