The challenge: Overcoming children’s fear and anxiety about needles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fear of invasive procedures, such as blood tests or vaccinations, causes a high level of stress in children between the ages of 2 and 15. This situation not only causes discomfort and pain in young patients, but can also lead to traumatic experiences that complicate the work of nursing professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difficulty in locating veins in paediatric patients under stress prolongs intervention times, increasing the perception of pain and consuming hospital resources inefficiently. The challenge for Innoarea and the UPNA was to break this cycle of stress with a tool that not only distracted the patient, but also sensorially isolated them from the threatening stimuli of the hospital.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
