Abstract

Purpose: This study was done to evaluate the effectiveness of EMLA cream on pain related to venipuncture among children. Methods: In this study, 48 children were evaluated using a sequential measurement for level of pain by Skin Conductance Level (SCL) based on Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), heart rate, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at four times. Results: The maximum and mean of the SCL were each significantly different between the experimental and control groups and furthermore, the two were also significantly different among observed times. In addition there was a significant interaction between group and time. The children's perceived pain using VAS was not significantly different between the experimental and control groups. There was no significant difference in the heart rate between the experimental and control groups; however, the interaction between group and time was significant. Conclusion: In conclusion, applying topical anesthetic cream to the venipuncture site to reduce pain was effective among the children and therefore it is highly recommended that topical anesthetic cream be applied at the venipuncture site as a nursing intervention to reduce pain when a child has to undergo a venipuncture.

목적 본 연구는 아동의 정맥 천자 시 국소마취크림 도포가 통증에 미치는 효과를 규명하고자 시도하였다. 방법 경피적 국소마취크림 도포가 아동의 정맥 천자 시 통증에 미치는 효과를 측정하기 위한 유사 실험 설계로 반복 측정연구이다. 경피적 국소마취크림의 적용시간을 기존 1시간 적용보다 30분 단축한 30분으로 하였고, 대상자를 입원 시의 학령기 아동으로 하여 국소마취크림이 정맥 천자 시 통증에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 정맥 천자 시 통증에 대한 반응을 피부 전기반응, 아동의 자가 보고와 심박동수 측정으로 조사하였다. 결과 정맥 천자 시 통증에 대한 피부 전기반응의 최대값과 평균값은 실험군이 대조군보다 유의하게 낮아 경피적 국소마취크림 도포가 정맥 천자 시 아동의 통증을 감소시키는 효과가 있음을 알 수 있다. 결론 본 연구 결과 경피적 국소마취크림 도포가 아동의 정맥 천자 시 통증을 감소시키는 효과가 있었다. 또한 기존에 사용되던 통증의 생리적 변수 이외에 피부 전도도(SCL)라는 변수를 통증반응의 지표로 측정하였고, 이는 통증의 새로운 지표를 아동의 통증 연구에 시도하였다는 데 의의가 있다. 아울러 아동의 경피적 국소마취크림의 적용 시간을 단축하여 향후 간호 실무에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
