研究概览
简要总结
This study was planned to determine the effect of kinesio taping (KT) applied to the abdominal area after surgery on pain and gas output in children aged 6-12 years who had open appendicitis surgery.
详细描述
It is stated that kinesio taping, alone or in combination, is an alternative application for the pain management of various disease and symptom processes. These sources state that kinesion relieves pain and makes movement easier. When the literature was examined, no study could be found examining the effectiveness of kinesio tape application in pain management and flatulence in the post-operative period in children who had appendicitis surgery. For this reason, this study aimed to examine the effect of kinesio taping applied to the abdominal area on pain and gas output after appendicitis surgery in children between the ages of 6-12.

盲法说明
The research is in a parallel group, single-blind randomized controlled experimental design.
Simple randomization will be applied to children who have had open appendicitis surgery and meet the inclusion criteria, without any stratification in the study.
In order to determine which group the 68 children who meet the sample selection criteria in the study group will be included in, numbers from 1 to 68 will be randomly distributed to 2 groups through a computer program (https://www.randomizer.org/) without number repetition. 34 patients will be assigned to the experimental group and 34 patients to the control group. Since the person who will actively apply the taping in the study is the researcher, only the children will be blinded, therefore a single blind design will be applied.

结局指标
主要结局
Kinesio tape applying affects pain in children aged 6-12 years who have appendicitis surgery.
时间窗: up to 6-24 hours
Visual Analog Scale (VAS): The scale is used to measure pain intensity. The scale consists of a horizontal or vertical ruler, 10 cm or 100 mm long, showing "no pain" at one end and "the most severe pain" possible at the other end. At the left end of the line is the expression "No pain" or "Pain is completely gone", while at the right end is the expression "Unbearable pain" or "There is no decrease in pain".
Kinesio tape applying affects fear in children aged 6-12 years who have appendicitis surgery.
时间窗: up to 6-24 hours
It is used to evaluate pain and anxiety in children before and during the procedure.The scale can also be scored by the parent and the researcher. The scale consists of five drawn facial expressions ranging from a neutral expression (0=no anxiety) to a frightened face (4=severe anxiety).
次要结局
- Kinesio taping affects gas output time in children aged 6-12 years who have appendicitis surgery(up to 6-24 hours)
