Summary

This study tested a cognitive-behavioral intervention package (CBIP) in 54 children aged 6-18 with cancer who needed a port catheter needle insertion. The package included distraction, guidance, and parental support before and during the procedure. Researchers measured pain, anxiety, and fear levels before and after the insertion to see if the intervention helped.
