The research design used was Quasi Experiment Non Equivalent Control Group Design involving 70 respondents who were divided into an intervention group of 35 respondents and a control group of 35 respondents.  The research instrument used a pain measurement sheet wong baker faces scale. The results of the Man Whitney test analysis showed that there was an effect of distraction techniques watching animated cartoons on the pain scale in children pre school during infusion at X Jakarta Hospital (p value = 0.000 <0.05).
