Abstract

The objective of the present study was to elucidate the effects of preparation using dolls for blood pressure measurement and to investigate practical preparation methods that consider the feelings and autonomy of children. A total of 14 healthy elementary school children aged six to nine years were randomly divided into the doll use group and the oral explanation group, and the original face scale, pulse rate, and behavior during implementation of children were recorded and compared. The results showed that the use of dolls more effectively alleviated stress and anxiety in children and facilitated relation-building with children, and that demonstrations using dolls were effective in enabling children to foresee what to do next. Gestures or verbal directions of motion were also effective. In addition, the results suggest that follow-up and provision of support for promoting comfort following the procedure can be facilitated by providing opportunities for play using dolls after the procedure.
