Lead Sponsor: Igdir UniversityOTHER
Official Title: The Effect of Two Different Therapeutic Interventions on Pain, Anxiety and Fear During Venipuncture in Children
Brief Summary: This research is a three-group, randomized controlled experimental study designed to determine the effect of two different therapeutic interventions applied during blood sampling on pain, anxiety, and fear levels in children aged 5-7 years.

Children participating in the study will be randomly divided into three groups:

Group (Experiment 1): Distraction method using betta fish observation

Group (Experiment 2): Distraction method using hand puppets

Group (Control): Routine clinical practice (without any therapeutic intervention) Before, during, and after blood sampling, children's pain level (FLACC scale), fear level (child fear scale), and anxiety level (child anxiety scale) will be evaluated.
