Objective To explore effective nursing interventions for pain management during pediatric vaccination to reduce childrens pain experience, improve their cooperation with vaccinations, and enhance parental satisfaction. Methods From January 2023 to January 2025, 160 children requiring vaccination were selected from the preventive vaccination clinic of our hospital as research subjects. Following strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, they were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 80 cases in each group. The control group received routine vaccination care, while the experimental group received comprehensive nursing interventions in addition to routine care, including pre - vaccination psychological comfort, distraction during vaccination, and post - vaccination pain relief measures. The Facial Pain Rating Scale (FPS - R) was used to assess the pain level of children during vaccination, and a questionnaire survey was employed to understand parents satisfaction with vaccination care. Results Children in the experimental group had significantly lower pain scale scores compared to those in the control group (P<0.05), and parents satisfaction with vaccination care was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive nursing interventions can effectively reduce childrens pain during vaccination, improve their cooperation, and enhance parental satisfaction, making them valuable in pediatric vaccination care and worthy of promotion and application.
