Study size: To the best of our knowledge there are no other studies found in literature to estimate a sample size so this study is going to be a pilot study with sample size of 50 child.
Statistical method: Categorical data will be represented as frequency (n) and percentage (%) and will be analyzed using chi square test. Numerical data will be investigated for normality by checking the data distribution, calculating the mean and median values and using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests. If the data was normally distributed, it will be shown as mean and standard deviation values and an independent t-test will be used for analysis. If the assumption of normality was violated; the data will be presented as median and range values and will be analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test. The significance level will be set at p ≤0.05 for all tests. Statistical analysis will be performed with IBM® SPSS® Statistics Version 26 for Windows.
