Pengambilan darah intravena dapat menimbulkan stres pada anak, sementaramanajemen stres belum optimal dilaksanakan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahuiefektivitas posisi duduk dalam dekapan keluarga terhadap stres anak prasekolah yangdilakukan pengambilan darah intravena. Desain penelitian Randomized Clinical Trialdengan 18 responden kelompok intervensi (posisi duduk dalam dekapan keluarga) dan18 responden kelompok kontrol (posisi supine). Pengukuran stres menggunakanChildren?s Fear Scale diinterpretasi melalui hasil rekaman video. Hasil menunjukkanrerata skor stres pada kelompok intervensi lebih rendah dari kelompok kontrol (p value< 0,05) dan tidak terdapat hubungan antara karakteristik anak dengan skor stres.Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perawat menerapkan posisi duduk dalam dekapankeluarga di setiap prosedur pengambilan darah intravena.

ABSTRACT
Intravenous blood collection may cause stress in children, while stress managementwas not optimally implemented. The purpose of study is to examine the effect of chestto chest straddle position on preschoolers stress during intravenous blood collectionprocedure. Study used Randomized Clinical Trial research design, where 18respondents in intervention groups (chest to chest straddle position) and 18 respondentsin control groups (supine position). Measuring stress using the Children's Fear Scalethrough video recorded. The result showed mean scores of stress in the interventiongroup significantly lower than the control group (p value < 0,05) and there was nocorrelation between characteristics of respondent and stress. Research recommend nursemay apply chest to chest straddle position in every procedure of intravenous bloodcollection.;Intravenous blood collection may cause stress in children, while stress managementwas not optimally implemented.
