Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized controlled study aims to determine the effect of listening to music (LM), ball squeezing (BS), and performing mathematical operations (MO) in reducing the pain experienced during the first dressing in children aged 8-18 with appendectomy.

Description:

The sample of the study consisted of 120 children (LM:30, BS:30, MO:30, control:30). A minute before dressing and during dressing, the children in the LM group listened to music, the children in the SB group squeezed the ball, the children in the MO group performed mathematical operations.According to the child, parent, and nurse assessment, it was determined that the mean pain score of the children in the LM and MO groups was lower than that of the BS group and control groups (p< .05).

Intervention

Behavioral:
• mathematical operations
Prepared by the researchers, the form involved mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The difficulty level of the mathematical operations in the form was determined by age groups of children. Accordingly, mathematical operations were divided into 3 groups primary school, secondary school and high school levels.
• ball squeezing
For the children in the BS group, a softball that could fit in the palm and be easily squeezed by the child was used.
• listening to music
Children were allowed to listen to music with headphones during dressing changes.

Other:
• kontrol grubu
No application was made during dressing change in children. Routine dressing change of the clinic was applied.
