Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Method: This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial. The sample of the study will consist of 105 children aged 5-12, who will be operated on at Akdeniz University Hospital, and their parents. Randomization result; It was planned to include a total of 105 children and their parents in 3 groups: bubble breathing play therapy group (intervention group 1)= 35, tell-show-do play therapy group (intervention group 2)= 35 , and control group= 35 children and parents.
Child and parent information form will be used to collect data, Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale will be used to collect data in child sample, and Spielberger State Anxiety Scale will be used to collect data in parent sample.
Intervention and Data Collection: Randomization will be performed after the purpose of the study is explained to the child and parent who agreed to participate in the study and after obtaining consent. Immediately after the pretest (first measurement) is given to the children assigned to intervention group 1 and their parents, attempts to bubble breathing play therapy will be applied for 5-10 minutes. If they wish, the child and parents will be told that they can continue to play with the bubble toys until premedication. Children assigned to intervention group 2 and their parents will be tell-show-do play therapy for 10-15 minutes immediately after the pre-test (first measurement) is done. Participants randomized to the control group will be given routine standard nursing care. The second measurement will be just before premedication (post test). Thus, the effectiveness of the initiatives and their comparison with each other will be evaluated.
The data of the research will be analyzed using the Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) 23.0 software package program. The process of evaluating the data will be carried out with the support of a statistician.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Bubble breathing play therapy
