Actual (reported)Patient Identification Form
In this form, there are questions about the child's age, gender, diagnosis of the disease, length of stay, and how long ago she received the current diagnosis.

Physiological Parameter Record Form
In this form, there are records of all physiological parameters including pulse and respiratory rate, body temperature, blood pressure, SpO2, tidal volume, and peak heart rate. If the value of each parameter is higher than the normal values, it indicates the presence of abnormal condition. Pulse normal value range: 80-130/ Minute Blood pressure normal value range:92-44 mmHg Respiratory rate normal value range: 16-22/ Minute Body temperature normal value range: 36,4-38 degree SpO2 normal value range: %96-98 Tidal volume normal value range: 6-10 ml/kg
baseline and up to 4 weeks
FLACC Pain Scale
FLACC has reliability and validity to determine observational pain of children aged between 3 and 18 years during the medical procedures. This scale is preferred due to its implicity of application among children. It has five categories of behavior to rate pain, namely, facial expression, leg movement, activity, cry, and consolability. The scores of each category are between 0 and 2. The total scores can range from 0 to 10, defined as mild (1-3), moderate (4-6), and severe (7-10). The higher the score, the greater the pain.
baseline and up to 4 weeks
Routine aspiration will be applied to the control group. No action will be taken.
During the aspiration process, the experimental group will listen to fairy tales and watch cartoons.
Fairy tales by children will be chosen by child psychologists. Tales will be read to the children by the researcher. The researcher has a fairy tale therapy certificate. The tale reading will start 5 minutes before the aspiration process and will continue throughout the aspiration process. Tales will be read to children every other day. This process will continue for 3 weeks.
The cartoons that children will watch will be preferred by child psychologists. Children will be watched cartoons with the help of tablets. Watching cartoons will start 5 minutes before the aspiration process and will continue throughout the aspiration process. Children will be shown cartoons every other day. This process will continue for 3 weeks.
