Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of listening to fairy tales and watching cartoons on pain in the aspiration process in play-age children receiving palliative care.

Detailed Description

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

15 voluntary children with receiving palliative care, aged between 1-3 years will be randomly divided into two groups: fairy tale group and cartoon group. Interventions will be applied for 3 weeks, 1 times a day (16 sessions). No intervention will be applied to both groups besides fairy tale or cartoon intervention. The children will be assessed before, during and after. PAIN DUE TO ASPIRATION PROCEDURE will be evaluated using the FLACC Pain Scale. In addition, the heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, tidal volume and fever values of the children will be measured with the help of a bedside monitor.
