主要结局
Findings on Anxiety Level
时间窗: Baseline, half an hour before the anogenital examination and immediately after anogenital examination
State Anxiety Inventory for Children used in this study. It was developed by Spielberger to measure state and trait anxiety levels of children aged 9-12 years. Its adaptation into Turkish, validity and reliability study was conducted by Özusta (1993). It consists of two subscales, "state anxiety" and "trait anxiety", each consisting of 20 items. State anxiety subscale: Measures how the child feels "at that moment". Trait anxiety subscale: Measures how the child feels "in general". Both subscales give scores ranging from 20 to 60. In this study, since the change in state anxiety level before and after the anogenital examination will be evaluated, the "state anxiety" subscale was predominantly reflected in the findings. However, although trait anxiety was not examined in pre- and post-examination comparison, this subscale was also examined in the pre-test and post-test measurements. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of state anxiety subscale was 0.82 and trait anxiety subscale was 0.81
Findings on Fear Level
时间窗: Baseline, half an hour before the anogenital examination and immediately after anogenital examination
Children's Fear Scale: It is a single-item scale consisting of 5 facial expressions. The first facial expression is scored as neutral (0) and the last facial expression as the highest fear (4). It is used to measure the fear level of children before and after the procedure (blood sampling, examination, etc.) (McMurtry et al., 2011). In this study, it was used to determine the change in fear level before and after anogenital examination. Since it includes a single scoring, the reliability coefficient was not calculated.
