Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Children Fear Scale
The Children Fear Scale was used to evaluate the children's fear and anxiety. Children Fear Scale is a 0-4 scale, showing five faces that range from a neutral expression (0 = no anxiety) to a frightened face (4 = severe anxiety). Preprocedural and procedural pain, and anxiety were evaluated

Secondary Outcome Measures

Visual Analogue Scale
The visual analogue scale has been used for evaluating pain levels. Children were asked to mark the level of their pain on a l00 mm., Visual Analogue scale marked at one end as "no pain" and at the other as "worst pain imaginable.
Wong Baker Face Pain Scale
The Wong Baker Faces scale is a 0-10 scale. Six faces on the cards show a range of emotions from a smiling face (0 very happy/no pain) to a crying face (10 'hurts worst').
