Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Child Fear Scale:

  This scale is scored between 0-4 based on five different facial expressions, a higher scale score indicates more fear.

  On the day of the operation, one hour before the operation, the child is asked to rate his/her fear according to this scale.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Yale Modified Preoperative Anxiety Scale Child Form

  An evaluation is made by the researcher 30 minutes before the operation and when the anesthesia mask is shown in the operating room.

Other Outcomes (2)

• Wong-Baker Facial Pain Scale

  An evaluation is made by asking the child to rate his/her pain according to this scale, two hours after he/she comes to the service room after the surgery and before being discharged.

• Sleep Disturbance Scale For Children

  It is filled ten days after the operation. When the child comes to the check-up ten days after discharge from the hospital, the evaluation is completed by the parent in the polyclinic.
