The Effect of a Drama-Based Coloring Storybook on Children's Fear, Anxiety, and Pain Management in the Perioperative Process: "Alican's Brave Journey"

Обзор

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of a drama-based coloring storybook on children's fear, anxiety, and pain management during the perioperative process. The study will be conducted with children aged 6-9 years who are scheduled for elective surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving the drama-based coloring storybook or a control group receiving routine preoperative care. Levels of fear, anxiety, and pain will be assessed using validated measurement tools at predefined perioperative time points. The findings are expected to contribute to evidence-based, child-centered perioperative care practices.

Подробное описание

This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to examine the effectiveness of a drama-based coloring storybook intervention in reducing fear and anxiety and improving pain management in children during the perioperative process. The study population consists of children aged 6-9 years undergoing elective surgical procedures. Participants will be randomly allocated to either an intervention group or a control group.

Children in the intervention group will receive a drama-based coloring storybook titled "Alican's Brave Journey", which introduces the perioperative process through age-appropriate language, illustrations, and interactive coloring activities. The storybook will be administered in the preoperative period by the researcher. The control group will receive routine preoperative care provided by the hospital. Children's fear, anxiety, and pain levels will be measured using validated assessment tools at preoperative and postoperative stages. The study aims to provide evidence on the effectiveness of drama-based educational materials in pediatric perioperative care.
