The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic play during intravenous cannulation on level of pain among children admitted in a selected hospital and to find the association between study variables and selected socio-demographic variables. A quantitative evaluative research approach with nonequivalent posttest only control group design was used for the study. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used. Data was collected and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Collected data were planned for analysis by using the frequency distribution, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Out of 40 samples, regarding age majority 45% were 4-5 years in control group and 45% were 3-4 years in experimental group. Regarding gender majority were boys in both control 60% and experimental group 75%. Regarding behavioural response to IV cannulation majority 95% were having cry in control group, whereas majority 55% were having fear in experimental group. The level of pain of both control and experimental group was assessed by using Wong Baker’s Faces Pain rating scale. The statistical significance was assessed, student ‘t’ test was used to test the effectiveness of nursing intervention between the group and it was 2.135 and was found significant at p<0.05 level of significance. This indicated that the nursing intervention was significantly effective to reduce the level of pain during intravenous cannulation among the experimental group.
