Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Virtual Reality-Cartoons-Video group Before the circumcision procedure, patients in the VR group will be given a 5-minute training including instructions for the use of the virtual reality. Children in the cartoon-video group will be allowed to choose a cartoon of their choice compatible with virtual reality. Children in this group will be allowed to watch the cartoon of their choice for 10-15 minutes before the procedure. In terms of infection risk, VR will be disinfected before and after each use.
Control group Children in the control group will not be subjected to any distraction method. The routine procedure of the clinic will be applied.
Data Collection Phase 1: The study will start after ethics committee and institutional permissions are obtained. The researcher will inform the children and their parents about the study and the verbal and written consent of the participants will be obtained. Children who will undergo circumcision will be randomly assigned to the VR groups or the control group.
Phase 2: "Descriptive Characteristics Form", 'Child Fear Scale', 'Child Anxiety Scale-Conditionality (CAS-D)' will be completed for children in all groups before the circumcision procedure.
Phase 3: Children in the VR-game group will be asked to play a game of their choice for 10-15 minutes before the procedure. Children in the VR-cartoon-video group will be asked to watch a cartoon of their choice for 10-15 minutes.
Stage 4: Before the procedure, the physiologic parameters of the children in all groups will be recorded on the "Vital Signs Record Form".
5\. After the procedure, "Child Fear Scale", "Child Anxiety Scale-Conditioning (CAS-D)" and "Visual Analog Scale" and "Life Findings Record Form" will be filled out for the children in all groups.
