The aim of this study is to determine the effect of ShotBlocker© and cold massage on pain, crying time and physiological parameters during DaBT-IPA-Hib vaccine administration in 2-6 months old babies.This study was planned as randomized controlled experimental single-blind.~The population of the research will be 2-6 months old babies who come to Giresun Güce District State Hospital Family Health Center to receive DaBT-IPA-Hib vaccine between the dates of the research. The sample of the study will consist of infants who met the case selection criteria, accepted to participate in the study and were vaccinated between the specified dates.~The sample size of the research will be determined with the help of power analysis. All calculations in the power analysis made G-Power 3.1.9.2. carried out through the program. In the power analysis, the effect size was determined by using the Cohen standard effect sizes, which are frequently used in the literature (Cohen, 1997). In the study, the type I error level, also known as false positivity and generally called α error, which expresses the possibility of finding an effect, difference or relationship that does not exist in reality, was accepted as 0.05 in the power analysis. On the other hand, II. error, known as false negativity, which is expressed as the probability of showing an effect, difference or relationship as if the results of the study do not exist, and which is generally called ß error. The type error level was accepted as 0.20. In this case, this work will be carried out with 80% power. As a result of the power analysis, it was determined that a total of 99 infants, 33 of whom were to be applied cold massage, 33 to be administered ShotBlocker©, and 33 to the control group, who were 2-6 months old to be administered DaBT-IPA-Hib vaccine, met the case selection criteria and agreed to participate in the study. Considering the possibility of case losses, a total of 108 babies, 36 in each group, are planned to be included in the study.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of ShotBlocker© and cold massage on pain, crying time and physiological parameters during DaBT-IPA-Hib vaccine administration in 2-6 months old babies.
