Data were collected through interviews, observations, physical examinations, literature studies, and medical documentation. Results: The results of the assessment of breathing frequency 26x/min, SpO2 96%, BP 95/65 mmhg, pulse frequency 78x/min, CRT <2 seconds, complaining of pain on a scale of 5, grimacing, looking restless, with acute pain nursing problems. The results of the study showed that the use of stress balls during the blood sampling process at preschool age was able to reduce the level of pain from a moderate pain scale to mild pain through observation of children's verbal and non-verbal responses.
