In the researchers' words
The purpose of this study is to determine if a preparation teaching intervention before IV insertion, taught by MEDi to children and their parents, will lead to lower levels of expected and experienced pain and fear and less distressing pain memories, as compared to children who receive standard care. In addition, it will be examined whether this preparation intervention will lead to greater parental self-efficacy, less anxiety, and less distressing pain memories as compared to controls.
