Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* H1: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's fear.
* H2: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's anxiety.
* H3: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's comfort.
* H4: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's pain.
* H5: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's fear.
* H6: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's anxiety.
* H7: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's comfort.
* H8: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's pain.
Researchers will investigate the effects of animal-assisted intervention and kaleidoscopes on anxiety, fear, pain, and comfort during the transfer to the operating room in boys aged 7-10 undergoing circumcision. A comparison will be made with a control group to determine this effectiveness.
Participants:
* The animal-assisted intervention group will initiate interaction with a goldfish in a portable aquarium during the preoperative period and accompany them until they arrive in the operating room.
* The kaleidoscope group will be distracted with a kaleidoscope during the preoperative period and continue this intervention until they arrive in the operating room.
* The control group will follow the hospital's routine patient transfer procedure.
