Quantum-Touch was first described by Richard Gordon and Bob Rasmusson in 1978; it activates life force energy by combining various hand positions, various breathing techniques and body awareness exercises. It is applied by directing the formed high energy field to an area of pain, stress or illness through therapeutic touch. Tully found that Quantum Touch in reducing acute and chronic pain; Walton reported that Quantum-Touch application is effective in chronic musculoskeletal pain. It is important to conduct studies with a high level of evidence investigating the effect of Quantum Touch, which is a non-pharmacological method, on pain, fear and anxiety for children of different age groups, which is easily applied during invasive procedures. Based on this information, in this study, which was planned in a randomized controlled and experimental design, it was aimed to determine the effect of the Quantum-Touch method applied during the vascular access procedure in children between the ages of 7-12 on the level of pain, fear and anxiety in children.
This research is a randomized controlled experimental study designed to determine the effect of the Quantum-Touch method applied during the vascular access procedure in children aged 7-12 years, on the level of pain, fear and anxiety in children.
