In pediatrics, clinicians are constantly searching for ways to refrain from or reduce the amount of pain we inflict on patients. That may involve less frequent lab work or making the choice to leave out a PIV that is lost. Though efforts are made to reduce pain in healthcare settings, we are not able to guarantee painless experiences. One of the most notable examples of unavoidable pain is childhood immunizations. Since I am a current pediatric nurse and in the primary care pediatric NP track, this is and will even more so, become a common practice issue for me. I wanted to figure out what methods of distraction work for infants when receiving immunizations. Using Richardson and colleagues' concept (1995, as cited by Davies, 2011) I created the PICO question: In infants, do distraction techniques during immunization administration result in lower pain scores when compared to no intervention?

P: Infants
I: Distraction techniques during immunization administration
C: No intervention
O: Lower pain scores
Based on the PICO question, the study will aim to determine whether using distraction techniques during immunization administration in infants leads to lower pain scores compared to no intervention. This information can be useful for clinicians in finding effective ways to reduce pain during immunizations in pediatric patients.
