SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.) package program. It was determined that the MCQ and ÇAS-D scores of the children in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p˂0.01). It was determined that the mean CTA and respiratory rate of the children in the intervention group just before and 2 hours after the application were lower than the control group (p<0.001). According to the results of the research, it was determined that the therapeutic game applied before indwelling catheter intervention in children between the ages of 6-12 was effective in reducing children's anxiety and fear.

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.
