Brief Summary

This study was planned to determine the effect of kinesio taping (KT) applied to the abdominal area after surgery on pain and gas output in children aged 6-12 years who had open appendicitis surgery.

Conditions

Appendicitis; Surgery; Pain, Acute

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Kinesio tape applying affects pain in children aged 6-12 years who have appendicitis surgery.

  Visual Analog Scale (VAS): The scale is used to measure pain intensity. The scale consists of a horizontal or vertical ruler, 10 cm or 100 mm long, showing "no pain" at one end and "the most severe pain" possible at the other end. At the left end of the line is the expression "No pain" or "Pain is completely gone", while at the right end is the expression "Unbearable pain" or "There is no decrease in pain".

  up to 6-24 hours

• Kinesio tape applying affects fear in children aged 6-12 years who have appendicitis surgery.

  It is used to evaluate pain and anxiety in children before and during the procedure.The scale can also be scored by the parent and the researcher. The scale consists of five drawn facial expressions ranging from a neutral expression (0=no anxiety) to a frightened face (4=severe anxiety).

  up to 6-24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Kinesio taping affects gas output time in children aged 6-12 years who have appendicitis surgery

  up to 6-24 hours

Study Arms (2)

Kinesio Taping

EXPERIMENTAL

The taping process will be done immediately after appendicitis surgery. Kinesio taping will continue until child's first gas is released. In addition to the standard pain management applied in the clinic, Kinesio tape will be applied to children who have had appendicitis surgery.

Other: Kinesio taping

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

The control group will receive standard pain treatment without any intervention. The group will not receive any other intervention.

Interventions

Kinesio taping OTHER

After appendicitis surgery, children will receive Kinesio taping in addition to the standard pain management applied in the clinic.

Kinesio Taping

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT
• Masking Details: The research is in a parallel group, single-blind randomized controlled experimental design. Simple randomization will be applied to children who have had open appendicitis surgery and meet the inclusion criteria, without any stratification in the study. In order to determine which group the 68 children who meet the sample selection criteria in the study group will be included in, numbers from 1 to 68 will be randomly distributed to 2 groups through a computer program (https://www.randomizer.org/) without number repetition. 34 patients will be assigned to the experimental group and 34 patients to the control group. Since the person who will actively apply the taping in the study is the researcher, only the children will be blinded, therefore a single blind design will be applied.
• Purpose: SUPPORTIVE CARE
• Intervention Model: SINGLE GROUP
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: SPONSOR

Model Details: The effect of kinesio taping on pain in children aged 6-12 years who had open appendicitis surgery.
