Brief Summary

Aim: This study aims to determine the effect of time management training on anxiety and fear levels in children undergoing haemodialysis treatment. It is anticipated that the structured time management training provided to children will contribute to the treatment process. Method: This study has a randomised controlled experimental design. The study was conducted at the Gaziantep University Sahinbey Research and Application Hospital Children's Nephrology Diseases Hemodialysis Unit between 1 November 2025 and 1 April 2026. The study sample consisted of children aged 9-12 undergoing hemodialysis treatment at this unit. The sample group was randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received training after the pre-test, and the training's effectiveness was evaluated one week and one month later. The control group received routine care. Data were collected using a questionnaire, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, and the Medical Procedure Fear Scale.
