Summary

The study employed a post-test non-randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of the PİKSEÇ (Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Selection) application on the success of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) placement, as well as on the pain and emotional level scores of hospitalized preschool children aged 3-6 years. In preschool children, aged 3-6 years, who were hospitalized, anxiety about losing body integrity is commonly observed. Children tend to think that all the material inside their bodies can come out through a wound or hole during invasive procedures. Therefore, it becomes crucial to reduce anxiety related to invasive procedures in children of this age group. In this context, the study aimed to be conducted in preschool children.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	PİKSEÇ	In designing the PİKSEÇ application, the Turkish validity and reliability version of the 'Difficult Intravenous Access Score' and a literal translation of the miniMAGIC instructions were utilized. The application serves as a guideline for nurses during peripheral intravenous catheter insertion, taking into account parameters such as the patient's age, urgency status, anxiety, and vein characteristics, providing tailored suggestions. By utilizing the application, nurses can follow evidence-based guidelines more efficiently, ensuring a faster and more practical adherence to the PIVC intervention procedure, ultimately contributing to a safer peripheral intravenous catheter insertion process.
OTHER	Routine care	The pediatric unit's PIVC insertion process will be routinely performed in routine care.
