During IV insertion, distraction was done with bubble instrument. ‎ Heart rate was measured and compared three minutes before and after intervention with pulse ox ‎meter.‎ Results: The results showed statistically significant differences in the average heart rate (P< ‎‏0‏‎.‎‏01‏‎) ‎of children in two groups before and after the intervention which shows the effect of distraction.‎ Conclusion: According to the research findings distraction with bubble decreases average heart ‎rate in ‎‏3-6‏‎ year old children and can be used as an effective method in pain control during IV ‎insertion in preschool children.‎ CP - IRAN IN - LG - eng PB - gums-hnmj PG - 33 PT - Research YR - 2009
