Abstract

The objective of this work is to describe the effect of massage done by parents on the reaction to venous puncture of preschooler and school age child hospitalized. Children's reactions were evaluated through the data of vital parameters, non-verbal communication and verbalization. The results obtained indicated that massage had significant effect in non-verbal reactions, especially those related to muscular relaxation. Effects on the reaction of vital parameters showed no difference between the two procedures, with and without massage, realized on the same child.
