Abstract

Intravenous blood collection can cause pain and trauma in children. This study aims to identify the effect of honey on child pain scores when taking blood. The design of this study is quasi-experimental. Samples were taken by consecutive sampling, consisting of intervention groups who received honey orally (34 respondents) and the control group received placebo (34 respondents). The age of respondents was 1-6 years. Pain scores were evaluated by the Children's Hospital of the Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS). The results of the analysis showed that there were significant differences in the mean of children's pain scores in the honey group and the placebo group (p=0.001). Researchers concluded that giving honey orally can reduce pain scores in children when taking intravenous blood.
