Brief Summary

This study was conducted to determine the effect of environmental play and mobilization on fear and pain levels of children aged 6-12 years who had acute appendicitis surgery.

Conditions

Healthy

Pain; Fear; Pediatric surgery; Game; Appendicitis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• The effect of environmental play on premobilization pain score of children

  Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used for determine pain level in this research. Scale got 0 to 10 points (0 (Good) to 10 (Bad)).

  30 seconds

• The effect of environmental play on the postmobilization pain score of children

  Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used for determine pain level in this research. Scale got 0 to 10 points (0 (Good) to 10 (Bad)).

• The effect of environmental play on children's fear score before mobilization

  Child Fear Scale (CFS) was used for determine fear score in this research. Scale got 0 to 4 points (0 (good) to 4 (bad)).

• The effect of environmental play on children's fear score after mobilization

  Child Fear Scale (CFS) was used for determine fear score in this research. Scale got 0 to 4 points (0 (good) to 4 (bad)).

game group

EXPERIMENTAL

Children who accepted to participate in the game were taken to the playground with minimum two and maximum four people. After the children were introduced to each other, the rules of the game were explained. Between the children playing, dice were rolled to determine the starting order of the game. The player who scored the highest number had the right to start the game first. With the help of the stopwatch, the playing time was started, and the children played the game in accordance with the rules. For the child who first reached the square of the world, the time was stopped and recorded in the "Child Follow-up Form". The game was played with a maximum game duration of 15 minutes. In the same way, the times of the children who reached the world square in the second, third and fourth places were recorded on the "Follow-up Form".

Device: game

control group

NO INTERVENTION

Children in the control group were allowed to walk for 15 minutes on a flat surface in the clinic accompanied by the researcher and their parents. As soon as the child came out of his room, the time was started with the help of a stopwatch. The time was stopped when the child went back to bed. The pain and fear scores of each child who completed the game and mobilization were evaluated separately and simultaneously by the child, parent and researcher with the help of the "Visual Analog Scale" and the "Child Fear Scale", and then the physiological parameter measurements were made by the researcher and the "Child Follow-up Form" was evaluated after the procedure. and data collection was terminated.

Interventions

game DEVICE

The game is played with a maximum of four people. Beginning points are marked with blue, red, yellow and green colors, the game progress direction is The starting color for the player is determined with the help of arrows. Dice with the biggest number The child who throws starts the game first from the starting point that belongs to him. Play ground Each child who completes a circuit around him reads from his second point. it tries to go inwards (to the world square) in the direction it points. Equivalent to card check box The next child draws one of the face down cards. the instruction written on the back of the card. implements. Then he puts the card on the back of the other cards. Cards are reward (go forward), penalty (backward) git) cards. Coming second to the same frame during the game The child first starts the game from the starting point of the child in the square. First The child who manages to enter the world square wins the game.
