- Detailed Description
The study was conducted for the purpose of determining the effect of making children aged 5 to 12 years watch a cartoon about echocardiography (ECO) procedure before the procedure and kaleidoscope during the procedure on their anxiety. It is a randomized controlled study. The study was conducted in the Pediatric Cardiology Polyclinic of Afyon Kocatepe University Ahmet Necdet Sezer Research and Application Hospital in the Province of Afyonkarahisar between 6 November 2018-1 February 2019. The study was completed with a total of 164 children who came to have an ECO and met the sample selection criteria. There were four groups in the study which were as follows; the group that was made watch a cartoon about the procedure before the procedure, the group that was made watch a kaleidoscope during the procedure, the group that was made watch a cartoon about the procedure before the procedure and a kaleidoscope during the procedure and the control group in which routine applications of clinic were carried out. Samples were assigned to the groups using permutation block randomization method. In order to collect data, an Introductory Information Form and the Child Fear Scale were used. The data acquired from the study were evaluated using the IBM SPSS Statistics 24 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) package software. In our study, the experimental and control group children were found to be similar in terms of introductory characteristics (age, gender, educational level, family structure, number of children in family, illness and hospital experiences, information about ECO). At the end of the study, it was determined that anxiety scores of the cartoon group, cartoon+kaleidoscope group and the kaleidoscope group were lower during the procedure than before the procedure (p\<0,001). In the control group, it was determined that there was no significant difference between the anxiety scores before and during the procedure (p\>0,05).
