Brief Summary

This research was planned to determine the effects of the web-based education given at home to children aged 7-12 in planned surgeries and the therapeutic game method applied in the hospital on pre-operative anxiety and fear, postoperative pain and sleep.

Detailed Description

Illness and especially hospitalization in the preoperative and postoperative period cause trauma with physiological, emotional and behavioral problems for children. With the help of web-based education and therapeutic game methods by pediatric nurses, anxiety, fear and pain seen in children and families can be reduced and skills to cope with negative emotions can be improved.

This study is a randomized controlled experimental study. The study is planned to be performed in the pediatric surgery clinic of the Training and Research Hospital.

For sample selection, children will be stratified in terms of age variables and divided into two strata as 7-9 years old and 10-12 years old. In order to ensure homogeneity between the groups, children will be selected into the study and control groups using a simple randomization method and a random numbers table. To the children in the study group and their parents; information about the child's surgery, educational brochures including the conditions to be considered before, during and after the operation, during the discharge period, operating room tour, educational games, etc. Training will be given on the website using and a therapeutic game will be played in the game room at the hospital the day before the surgery. The children in the control group and their parents will be given routine care and information about the pre-operative preparation in the service. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test will be used in the evaluation of the data. A value of p<0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
