Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy

• Registration Number: NCT05104021
• Lead Sponsor: Okan University

Brief Summary

This study was conducted to determine the effect of environmental play and mobilization on fear and pain levels of children aged 6-12 years who had acute appendicitis surgery.

Detailed Description

It was conducted with children aged 6-12 years in the postoperative period in a randomized controlled manner. Children in the intervention (n:50) group were mobilized by playing environmental games.The children in the control group (n:50) underwent routine mobilization of the clinic.
