SUMMARY

The study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental research to determine the effect of educational video screening on anxiety and fear in children. All children between the ages of 6-10 years old who underwent ear tube surgery will be included. Children will be randomly assigned to two groups (training video group, control group-standard care). In the training video group, a nurse will explain the process of ear tube surgery to the children with an educational video. The scenario of this educational animation will include information about the preoperative fears of a child who will undergo ear tube surgery, the structure of the ear, what they are most curious about, what the ear tube is, what will happen during and after surgery. In the control-standard care group, the standard information given to all children who had ear tube surgery in the relevant service will be given to the children in the control group. Data will be collected with the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Child Anxiety Scale-Condition Child Fear Scale before and after surgery.

This educational video scenario includes information about a child's fears before surgery, the structure of the ear, what they are most curious about, what an ear tube is, what happens during and after surgery. The educational video will be made by a person specialized in computer technologies. Artificial intelligence will be used in the vocalization of the educational video. Expert opinion will be taken for the instructional video. The duration of the educational video is planned to be in the range of 3-4 minutes in total.
