The Effect of Distraction Methods on Pain Level and Physiological Parameters in the Postoperative Period of Pediatric Patients Undergoing Outpatient Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The aim of the study is to examine the effects of distraction methods such as watching cartoons and ball squeezing on the level of pain and physiological parameters in the postoperative period in children aged 6-12 years who have outpatient surgery. The research is a randomized controlled trial. The sample number was determined as 40 children (total 120) in each group. Information Form, Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form, Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be used to collect research data. In the initiative group, two attempts will be implemented, namely watching cartoons and squeezing the ball. Interventions will be implemented for a total of 15 minutes. Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form and Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be filled in before the interventions are applied, 10 minutes during the intervention and 5 minutes after the intervention is completed. In the control group, the 10th and 20th minute physiological parameters and the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be evaluated after the child comes to the service after the operation and is prepared for the postoperative period (taking vital signs, putting on clothes, controlling bleeding, telling the feeding time, etc.). In the analysis of study data; chi-square test for descriptive statistics, chi-square test for repeated measurements, single factor analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman will be used. In the study, values at the p\<0.05 level were considered statistically significant.

Target number of participants: 120
Treatments
Experimental: Experiment 1: Watching Cartoons
Watching Cartoon Movies will be performed after the child comes to the service after the operation and prepares for the postoperative period (taking vital signs, putting on clothes, controlling bleeding, telling the feeding time, etc.). Interventions will be implemented for a total of 15 minutes. Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form and Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be filled in before the interventions are applied, 10 minutes during the intervention and 5 minutes after the intervention is completed.
Experimental: Experiment 1: ball spin
ball squeezing will be applied after the child comes to the service after the operation and the postoperative period preparation is made (taking the vital signs, putting on the clothes, controlling the bleeding, telling the feeding time, etc.). Interventions will be implemented for a total of 15 minutes. Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form and Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be filled in before the interventions are applied, 10 minutes during the intervention and 5 minutes after the intervention is completed.
No_intervention: Control
In the control group, the 10th and 20th minute physiological parameters and Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be evaluated after the child comes to the service after the operation and is prepared for the postoperative period (taking vital signs, putting on clothes, controlling bleeding, telling the feeding time, etc.).
