ABSTRACT
Pain is an uncomfortable feeling and a major source of distress for children. Pain
due to invasive action (immunization) can be reduced by applying the principle of
atraumatic care. Cool pack compresses and deep relaxation techniques can be
used to reduce pain, which is a non-pharmacological method. This study aims to
identify the effectiveness of cool pack compresses and relaxation techniques of
deep breaths on pain in school-age children after Td booster immunization. This
study's design used a quasi-experimental post-test only a nonequivalent control
group; the research instrument used a VAS (Visual Analog Scale) scale with 34
school-age children as respondents, divided into two groups, namely the cool pack
group and 17 deep breath relaxation techniques. Respondents using a simple
random sampling technique. The study results based on the Mann-Whitney
statistical test showed no difference in the level of pain between the cool pack
compress and the deep breathing relaxation technique. The value ƿ = 0.375 > α =
0.05. Researchers suggest that there is assistance from their parents or their closest
family in the immunization action for school-age children. Support and attention
can distract from pain and comfort the child.
