Brief Summary

This research is planned to examine the effect of "interactive floor" on post-operative pain and mobilization in children within the scope of diversion method. Research Question: Does the interactive floor affect children's post operative pain and mobilization? Hypotheses of the Study: H0: There is no difference between the postoperative pain score and mobilization time of children mobilized on the interactive floor and children mobilized with routine applications. H1: Children mobilized on the interactive floor have lower pain scores than children in the control group. H2: Children mobilized on the interactive floor have longer mobilization times than children in the control group. H3: Children mobilized on the interactive floor have lower peak heart rate than children in the control group. H4: Oxygen saturation of children mobilized on the interactive floor is higher than children in the control group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Postoperative Pain Score

  Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale The Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale is a pain scale that was developed by Donna Wong and Connie Baker. The scale shows a series of faces ranging from a happy face at 0, or "no hurt", to a crying face at 10, which represents "hurts like the worst pain imaginable". Based on the faces and written descriptions, the patient chooses the face that best describes their level of pain. There are 6 faces in the Wong-Baker Pain Scale. The first face represents a pain score of 0, and indicates "no hurt". The second face represents a pain score of 2, and indicates "hurts a little bit". The third face represents a pain score of 4, and indicates "hurts a little more". The fourth face represents a pain score of 6, and indicates "hurts even more". The fifth face represents a pain score of 8, and indicates "hurts a whole lot"; the sixth face represents a pain score of 10, and indicates "hurts worst". This pain scale was originally developed for children.

  The child will be asked to rate the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scales 3 times: immediatelybefore mobilization, during mobilization and immediately after the mobilization.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Mobilization Time

  1st, 2nd and 3rd postoperative mobilization of the child. Each mobilization will take an average of 5-15 minutes.

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group: group using interactive floor

EXPERIMENTAL

Postoperative mobilization of children in this group will be provided on the interactive floor installed in the relevant ward.

Other: İnteractive floor

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The postoperative mobilization of children in this group will be provided in the corridor, which is the routine of the relevant service, and they will be prevented from seeing the interactive floor before mobilization. Children in this group will be allowed to use the interactive floor in their mobilization after their 3rd mobilization.

Interventions

İnteractive floor OTHER

Interactive floor The interactive floor system includes a computer, camera and projection. With the projection, videos that are ready on the computer are projected on the floor, image processing is done with the camera and it detects whether there is an object on the floor or not and creates effects on the video. For example, on the floor containing colored balloons, the balloons burst with the movement of the child. With this visual mobility, it is aimed to draw the child's attention to another direction.
