Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Baxter Nausea Scale- BARF Score

    A score of 0 from the scale indicates that there is no nausea- vomiting, and a score of 10 indicates that there is nausea-vomiting

    Nausea and vomiting change in the perioperative period.

  • Eastern Ontario Children's Hospital Pain Scale

    The total score from the scale is evaluated as the lowest 4 points and the highest 13 points. A high total score from the scale indicates that the child has high postoperative pain

    Pain change in the perioperative period.

  • Multidimensional Perioperative Anxiety Scale (MCPSPS)

    The scale is a visual analog scale consisting of 5 items and scored between 0-100, prepared for children aged 7-13 who will undergo day surgery. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates that the child\'s perioperative anxiety increases.

    Anxiety change in the perioperative period.

  • Children's Emotional Indicator Scale (CBRS)

    As the scores obtained from the scale increase, negative emotional indicators increase. The rating is between 5-25 points.

    Emotional change in the perioperative period.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Heart rate (HR)

    Heart rate in the perioperative period.

  • body temperature

    Body temperature change in the perioperative period.

  • oxygen saturation (SpO2)

    SpO2 change in the perioperative period.

  • blood pressure

    Blood pressure change in the perioperative period.

  • respiratory rate

    respiratory rate change in the perioperative period.

Study Arms (3)

Music Listening Application

EXPERIMENTAL

Children in this group; 15 minutes before going to the surgery, the child's favorite and chosen music piece will be loaded onto the mp3 player and played by the researcher (who has received music therapy training) via the "creatone music pillow" for 15 minutes.

Other: Music Listening Application

Foot Reflexology Practice

EXPERIMENTAL

Children in this group; Before going to the surgery, foot reflexology will be applied by the researcher (who has received reflexology training), only to the left foot, for 10 minutes.

Other: Foot Reflexology Practice:

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Children in this group will not be subjected to any non-pharmacological application to reduce nausea, pain and anxiety before and after surgery. They will receive routine perioperative care administered in the clinic.

Interventions

15 minutes before going to the surgery, the child's favorite and chosen music piece will be loaded onto the mp3 player and played by the researcher via the "creatone music pillow" for 15 minutes. After the child returns to the service from the recovery room (the room where the patient is observed in the operating room for a certain period of time until he recovers from the surgery and his general condition is stable), and after he regains consciousness, music will be played by the music group again for 15 minutes.

Masking Details
The research will be structured according to the CONSORT 2010 checklist of information to include when reporting a randomised trial (Schulz et al., 2010) to facilitate clarity, integrity, and transparency. The assignment of children to groups will be made using the "simple randomization method". Children will not be informed about which group they are in (playing music, foot reflexology, control). The data collection tools of the study will be filled by the child, the parent, and an experienced university graduate nurse working in the day surgery clinic independent of the research. The nurse will be informed by the researcher about the scales to be used in the research. The researcher will not be involved in the data collection process, he will only observe the process. In addition, the database of the research will be created by a university graduate statistician working in a statistical center independent of the research, apart from the researcher.
