Overview
Brief Summary
Purpose:This research was conducted as an experimental study with pretest and posttest control groups in order to evaluate the effect of post-suture cold applications on the pain level of children with sutures.
Design and Methods: This study is a randomised controlled study. In the study, there were 150 children in the experimental group and 150 children in the control group.
Detailed Description
The experimental groups was applied at the 1st, 2nd and 6th hours after the suture application in the cold applications The different practitioners applied in the Visual Analog Scale after and before in the cold applications to the experimental and control groups

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
this study was measured the effects of cold application in the children after the suture
Time Frame: 1 days
The experimental groups was applied cold applications immediately after 20 minutes the suture. Later, The experimental groups was applied cold applications again for 20 minutes 1 hour, 2 hours and 6 hours after the suture. The visual Analog Scale were used as data collection tools. The Visual Analog Scale scale was applied before suturing. It was then applied 20 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 6 hours after the suturing procedure. The Visual Analog Scale: A minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10 points are obtained from the scale. A high score from the scale indicates a high level of pain
