Brief Summary

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

The population of the research will be children between the ages of 7 and 12 who underwent day surgery at the Pediatric Surgery Clinic of the Gynecology and Childhood Hospital of Ordu University Training and Research Hospital. The sample of the study will consist of 99 children who have undergone a day surgery operation between the specified dates, who meet the case selection criteria and agree to participate in the study.

Detailed Description

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

First of all, the hospitalized children and their parents will be informed about the study. Verbal and written consent will be obtained from the child and his/her parents who agreed to participate in the study before starting the study. "Child and Parent Descriptive Information Form, Baxter Nausea Scale-BARF, Multidimensional Perioperative Anxiety Scale in Children and Children's Emotional Indicator Scale will be administered to all children in the experimental and control groups 30 minutes before the operation (1st measurement). Before going to the operation, the music listening group will listen to music with a music pillow for 15 minutes, foot reflexology will be applied for 10 minutes to the foot reflexology group, and no application will be made to the control group. 10 minutes after the application, Baxter Nausea Scale-BARF, Multidimensional Perioperative Anxiety Scale in Children and Children's Emotional Indicator Scale will be administered again to all three groups (experimental and control) (2nd measurement). When the child comes to the service from the recovery unit after the surgery and after the necessary medical intervention (60th minute postoperatively), all scales will be applied (3rd measurement) and then the music listening group will be listened to with a music pillow for 15 minutes, reflexology will be applied to the foot reflexology group for 10 minutes, and the control group will be no application will be made and after 10 minutes all the scales will be re-administered to the experimental and control groups (4th measurement). Finally, 30 minutes before the child is discharged. First, all scales will be applied to the experimental and control groups again and an evaluation will be made with these results (5th measurement).

Participants Outcome Assessors
The research will be structured according to the CONSORT 2010 checklist of information to include when reporting a randomised trial (Schulz et al., 2010) to facilitate clarity, integrity, and transparency. The assignment of children to groups will be made using the "simple randomization method". Children will not be informed about which group they are in (playing music, foot reflexology, control). The data collection tools of the study will be filled by the child, the parent, and an experienced university graduate nurse working in the day surgery clinic independent of the research. The nurse will be informed by the researcher about the scales to be used in the research. The researcher will not be involved in the data collection process, he will only observe the process. In addition, the database of the research will be created by a university graduate statistician working in a statistical center independent of the research, apart from the researcher.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Music Listening Application

Children in this group; 15 minutes before going to the surgery, the child's favorite and chosen music piece will be loaded onto the mp3 player and played by the researcher (who has received music therapy training) via the "creatone music pillow" for 15 minutes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Music Listening Application

Intervention Type OTHER

15 minutes before going to the surgery, the child's favorite and chosen music piece will be loaded onto the mp3 player and played by the researcher via the "creatone music pillow" for 15 minutes. After the child returns to the service from the recovery room (the room where the patient is observed in the operating room for a certain period of time until he recovers from the surgery and his general condition is stable), and after he regains consciousness, music will be played by the music group again for 15 minutes.

Foot Reflexology Practice

Children in this group; Before going to the surgery, foot reflexology will be applied by the researcher (who has received reflexology training), only to the left foot, for 10 minutes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Foot Reflexology Practice:

Intervention Type OTHER

Children in this group; Before going to the surgery, foot reflexology will be applied by the researcher, only to the left foot, for 10 minutes. After the child returns to the service from the recovery room (the room where the patient is observed in the operating room for a certain period of time until he recovers from the surgery and his general condition is stable), and after he regains consciousness, foot reflexology will be applied again, only on the left foot, for 10 minutes.

Control Group

Children in this group will not be subjected to any non-pharmacological application to reduce nausea, pain and anxiety before and after surgery. They will receive routine perioperative care administered in the clinic.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
