Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The Scale Development of Fear in Children Against Nursing Interventions and Used Materıals

  The scale was created to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool for children to determine their fear of nursing interventions and used materials. As a result of the validity and reliability analyzes of the scale, it was composed of 18 items. The scale has 2 sub-dimensions. These are fear of common materials (10 items) and fear of uncommon materials (8 items). The scale was scored as (1) not afraid, (2) little afraid, (3) afraid, (4) very afraid, (5) extremely afraid.

Animal-supported application will be made to the children in the study group.

Other: ANIMAL-ASSISTED INTERVENTION

control group

EXPERIMENTAL

Routine care will be given to the children in the control group.

Other: Routine Care

Interventions

ANIMAL-ASSISTED INTERVENTION OTHER

It will be ensured that the child is introduced to the goldfish when he is lying in the observation room, that the child will name the fish, and that he will communicate and feed the fish during his stay. Thus, it is aimed to turn the attention of the child to the goldfish while in the emergency room, to distract the child with the fish while all nursing interventions are presented, and to reduce the fear.

Routine Care OTHER

Routine nursing care will be provided.
