Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Circumcision is a common procedure in infants, children and young people around the world for cultural, religious or medical reasons. Since this is a painful procedure, it is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. It is recommended to perform this procedure under local anesthesia if there is no risk. Although local anesthesia is used during the procedure, pain and anxiety levels of children may increase. Distraction methods are commonly used and effective methods to reduce pain and anxiety during painful procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of tablet playing during circumcision on pain and anxiety in school age children.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Circumcision is a common procedure in the worldwide. To our knowledge, although there have been several randomized controlled trials using video and game techniques, which are distractions to reduce pain and anxiety during painful procedures, no randomized controlled trials using playing the game with Tablet to reduce pain and anxiety during circumcision have been found. Non-pharmacological studies, such as play therapy, are needed to reduce pain and anxiety in school-age children undergoing circumcision under local anesthesia. The aim of this study is to provide evidence about the effectiveness of playing the game with Tablet used to reduce pain and anxiety during circumcision, and to contribute to nursing care in pain management.
