The Effect of Health Riddles on Fear, Anxiety, and Pain in Circumcised Children

Обзор

This study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental method to examine the effects of health puzzles on the fear, anxiety and pain levels that occur in the pre- and postoperative periods in children who underwent circumcision.

Подробное описание

In the study, children aged 4-6 who came to be circumcised were divided into three groups: the Normal Circumcision Control Group, which received standard care and information, the Normal Riddle Group, which was supported by general fun riddles that did not contain health content, and the Health Riddles Group, which received an intervention that included health information and aimed to reduce children's fear and anxiety levels. The children's fear, anxiety and pain levels before and after the surgery will be measured using the Introductory Information Form, the Children's Fear Scale, the Children's Anxiety Scale-State and the Wong-Baker Facial Pain Scale as data collection tools.
