The aim of this study was to compare a hand puppet with image viewing and a coloring book for children in reducing children's pain and fear during blood collection.
Ninety volunteer children aged 3-6 coming for blood collection will be randomly divided into three groups: hand puppet, viewing and painting the image, and control group. Children will be assessed before, during, and after the procedure. Pain related to blood collection will be assessed with the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale, and fear will be assessed with the Child Fear Scale. In addition, children's demographic data will be recorded in the Information Form.

| Hand Puppet | Other | Children who come to the hospital's blood collection unit and meet the research criteria will be randomly assigned to the hand puppet group. The scales will be filled out by the nurse and the child five minutes before the blood collection. The researcher will benefit from the experiences of the child development specialist and preschool teacher before the research on puppet scenarios. In the interview room outside the blood collection unit, the child's parent will be asked to tell the researcher about the things the child enjoys and likes. The researcher will show the child puppet characters on various themes and the child will be asked to choose the puppet character he/she wants before the blood collection. The puppet scenarios will be improvised in light of the information received from the child's mother and father during the demonstration and will be shaped according to the child's wishes. In this way, the child will turn the scary hospital environment into an entertaining environm |

| Patient Identification Form | It is a form consisting of 7 questions in total, including the child's age, gender, previous hospital experience, if any, how many times the child has been hospitalized, whether the parents have prepared for the blood collection process beforehand, experience of having blood drawn in the last six months, and reactions to the blood collection process. It was prepared by researchers in accordance with the literature. | Baseline |
| Wong Baker Face Pain Scale | Children between the ages of three and eight can express many pain areas and their severity. In this study, the Wong-Baker Pain Inventory will be used in combination with the Visual Analog Scale, since face scales are more appropriate. The Wong Baker Face Pain Scale was developed by Donna Wong and Connie Moran Baker in 1981. The scale is suitable for children between the ages of three and eighteen. The scale includes facial expressions that the child can enjoy and enjoy. For this reason, it has been stated that it gives more accurate results. The scale has scores of "0", "2", "4", "6", "8", and "10". A score of "0" indicates no pain and a score of "10" indicates the highest pain. This scale does not have a Cronbach's alpha score. It has been reported that reliability studies have not been conducted on such scales. In our study, the child will be shown the facial expressions on the pain scale and asked which one it is, and the score co | Baseline and up to 4 weeks |
| Child Fear Scale | The Turkish validity of this scale, developed by McMurtry and colleagues, was done by Gerçeker and colleagues. The changes in the facial muscles of the frightened expression were drawn by a graphic artist from a photograph of a frightened face. It can be used by the parent, child or researcher to scale the child's fear. The scale, which has facial expressions scored from 0 to 4, is shown to the child. A score of 4 indicates that the child is very frightened, and a score of 0 indicates that the child is not frightened. It is accepted that a score of "0" indicates a neutral expression (no fear), a score of "1" indicates a very low level of fear, a score of "2" indicates a little fear, a score of "3" indicates a greater level of fear, and a score of 4 indicates that the level of fear is at the highest level. This scale can be used to measure fear before and during the procedure. In our study, the child will be shown the facial expressions on the |

| The Visual Viewing and Coloring Book | Other | Children who come to the hospital's blood collection unit and meet the research criteria will be randomly assigned to the coloring group. The scales will be filled out by the nurse and the child five minutes before the blood is drawn. The Visual Viewing and Coloring Book consists of pictures that require coloring. The children will be given a book before the blood is drawn and will be asked to draw or color a picture as they prefer during the procedure. The fear scale will be assessed by the nurse and the child five minutes before, during, and five minutes after the procedure. The pain scale will be assessed by the nurse and the child during and five minutes after the procedure. The child will be shown the facial expressions on both the fear scale and the pain scale and asked which one it is, and the score corresponding to the facial expression he/she indicates will be recorded.
