Research Methods : The type of research used is quantitative research, namely research related to numbers, starting from data collection, interpretation of the data and the appearance of the results, while the design used in this study is a (quasi - experimental design). Results : The results obtained using the non-parametric test, it was found that the p value was 0.003. Because p value (0.003) < (0.05) then (Ha) is accepted. So it can be concluded that there is an effect of cold compresses on reducing the pain scale of infusion in school-age children. Conclusion : There is an effect of cold compresses on reducing the pain scale of infusion in school-age children.
