The children in the VR experimental group of the study will be subjected to the clinic's routine venipuncture procedure and the video-watching intervention with virtual reality headset. Routine care includes informing the child and parents about the procedure and questions that strengthen communication and distract attention. For example, it consists of questions such as 'How old are you?', 'Do you go to school?', 'Can you tell me the name of your favorite friend?'. Virtual reality headset will be introduced to the child before the procedure and information about how to use them will be given. After the measurements, intravenous access will be started. During the procedure, children will be shown a roller coaster video on virtual reality headset. The video-viewing process will be started 2 minutes before the venipuncture procedure. The video viewing time is planned to last an average of 4 minutes. Measurements were made during and after the procedure
