Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the use of spoons and oral injectors on the level of fear in children with fever in oral medication administration.

Clinical Trial Description

Fever is known as a defense mechanism of the body; Increased body temperature in children is one of the symptoms that frighten parents and is among the most common reasons for hospitalization. Pharmacological agents such as paracetamol and ibuprofen are often used in fever management, and if possible, oral administration of the suspension form of the drugs is preferred to reduce invasive practices. However, reasons such as children not liking the taste of the medicine, rejecting the medicine, or spitting or vomiting may cause difficulties in administering the medicine orally. More than one different method is used to administer these drugs, depending on the patient's age, general condition and compliance with the treatment. These; They can be listed as spoon, oral injector, medicine glass. As a result of the examination of the drug administration materials, it was stated that children are fear of the injector when the drugs are given with a injector, they may aspirate, and they do not have appropriate equipment to administer the drug. It is important for nurses to understand children's fears and their causes, to develop interventions to reduce fear, and to minimize possible traumatic effects during the hospitilization process. In this study, the sample will be divided into two groups: experimental and control, and oral antipyretic medicine will be given by two different methods. An oral injector will be used in the experimental group and an oral medicine spoon will be used in the control group. Hypotheses of the Study: H0: There is no significant difference in the effect of the use of spoons and oral injectors in oral medication administration in children on the level of fear in children and parents. H1: There is a significant difference in the fear level of using spoons and oral injectors in oral medication administration in children. H2: There is a significant difference in the parents' fear level of using spoons and oral injectors in oral medication administration in children. H3: There is a significant difference in the heart rate and oxygen saturation of children using spoons and oral injectors for oral medication administration. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
