Abstract

The background of this study highlights that children often experience fear when undergoing nursing procedures in hospitals. Such fear not only becomes an obstacle in the implementation of medical actions but also worsens the overall experience of the child and may influence the success of the procedure. One widely used non-pharmacological approach to help reduce fear in children is storytelling, a narrative technique that provides emotional understanding and a calming effect. This study aimed to examine the effect of storytelling on reducing fear among children during nursing procedures. A quantitative design with a quasi-experimental approach was employed. The sample consisted of 30 children undergoing nursing procedures at Dr. Rasyidin Hospital Padang, divided into two groups: an experimental group that received a storytelling intervention and a control group without intervention. Children’s fear levels were assessed using a fear measurement scale before and after the procedure. Data were analyzed using a t-test to determine differences in fear levels between the two groups. The results showed a significant reduction in fear in the experimental group, with an average decrease of 4.5 points, compared to a 1.8-point decrease in the control group. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference between the groups (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that storytelling is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for reducing children’s fear during nursing procedures. Therefore, storytelling can be integrated into routine nursing practice to enhance positive emotional responses, reduce anxiety, and support a more cooperative medical experience for pediatric patients.

Abstract

Pain during vaccination is a significant factor that can increase anxiety and reduce children’s cooperation during immunization procedures. Simple non-pharmacological interventions, such as bubble blowing, are considered effective distraction techniques because they are inexpensive, easy to apply, and safe for children. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of bubble blowing therapy in reducing pain among children undergoing vaccination. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 20 children aged 3–5 years who received vaccinations at the Posyandu within the working area of Ambacang Padang Health Center. Pain levels were measured using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) scale. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with a paired t-test to assess differences before and after the intervention. The results showed that the average pain score before the bubble blowing intervention was 6.15 (SD = 1.27), categorized as moderate to severe pain. After the intervention, the average pain score decreased significantly to 2.45 (SD = 1.08), indicating mild pain. Paired t-test analysis revealed a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention pain scores (p = 0.000; p < 0.05). In conclusion, bubble blowing therapy is effective in reducing pain during childhood vaccination and is recommended as an evidence-based nursing intervention to enhance comfort, improve immunization experiences, and support parental adherence to vaccination schedules.

The sampleconsisted of 30 children selected using a total sampling technique. The results showed that most children had a moderate category of gadget usage patterns (53%) and normal rest needs (90%). The SpearmanRank test showed a value of p < 0.005 with r = 0.502, indicating a significant relationship between gadget usage patterns and rest needs. The positive direction of the relationship indicates that higher gadget use tends to be associated with decreased rest needs in children. Therefore, it can be concluded that gadget usage patterns are significantly related to the rest needs of preschool children.Keywords: Gadget Usage Patterns, Preschool-Aged Children, Rest Needs
