The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental research with the purpose of determining the effect of distraction by using vacutainers of three different animal characters.
Cholecystectomy is the most common major abdominal surgical procedure in western countries. Patients may experience fear and anxiety before surgery. Stress ball, one of the distraction methods, is an effective method in providing cognitive focus. It is seen that the stress ball method is used to reduce patients' anxiety and pain. Squeezing the stress ball during the surgical procedure allows patients to have direct control over the object, increasing their sense of empowerment. In this way, it has a positive effect on anxiety and patient satisfaction without interfering with the surgical procedure. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative use of stress ball on patients' fear, stress and comfort in order to determine the effect of stress ball applied before cholecystectomy surgery on patients' surgical fear, stress and comfort. It is thought that the data obtained as a result of the research will provide evidence for the effect of the stress ball, which is a non-pharmacological method used before the procedure, on fear, stress and comfort.
This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental type to determine the effect of playing with a toy nebulizer and watching cartoons on children's fear and physiological parameters in 3-6 year old children who were administered inhaler medication. The population of the study, planned as a randomized controlled experimental study, will consist of 4-6 year old children who apply to Tarsus State Hospital pediatric services and receive inhaler treatment. According to the power analysis performed for the sample size, the power of the sample was calculated with the G*Power 3.1 program, in line with the literature (Durak 2019; Özsamuri 2020). While the amount of Type I error was 0.05 and the power of the test was 0.95 (α= 0.05, 1-β= 0.95), the minimal sample size was calculated as 105 children (35 children in each group). Considering the possible losses from the sample for any reason during the study period, it was planned to increase the number of samples by 10% and include 38 children in the study and control groups. Child Information Form, Fear Assessment Scale and Child Anxiety Scale-State Scale will be used to collect data.
Childbirth is a multifaceted experience and could involve both positive and negative feelings. Feelings of limited capability in the face of childbirth may result in a condition termed as Fear of Childbirth (FOC), which contributes to significantly higher risks of birth complications resulting in psychological trauma. This study aims to examine the effects of Art Therapy (AT) on FOC, perceived maternal parental self-efficacy, postpartum maternal infant bonding and postpartum depression. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design will be used. Phase one will adopt a quasi-experimental study design. Women who are aged 21 and above, English literate and having a singleton pregnancy will be approached to fill in the Fear of Birth Scale (FOBS). Participants with FOBS score of 60 and above will be considered as having FOC and will be invited to participate in the AT intervention. Participants who are agreeable to receive AT will be recruited in the experimental group. Participants who declined to participate in AT will receive routine antenatal care (control group). Outcomes that will be measured in both groups include perceived maternal self-efficacy, maternal infant bonding, and maternal depression after childbirth. A qualitative descriptive design will be used in phase two. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with the participants to explore their experiences of the AT. Descriptive analysis, independent sample t-test, paired sample t-test, and regression analysis will be used for analysis of the quantitative data in phase one. Qualitative data from phase two will be analysed using thematic analysis. Findings of this study may provide evidence on the use of AT to cope with FOC during pregnancy. If proven to be beneficial, AT may potentially be introduced and advocated as an intervention for women with FOC.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (IVR) and music on children's anxiety, fear, and pain levels during circumcision surgery. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Are immersive virtual reality and music interventions effective in reducing children's anxiety and fear levels during circumcision surgery? 2. Are immersive virtual reality and music interventions effective in reducing children's pain levels during circumcision surgery? There were three groups in the study: control group (n:24), immersive virtual reality group (n:24), and music group (n:24). The control group did not undergo any intervention and only the routine procedure of the clinic was performed. The participants in the immersive virtual reality group played an interactive video game. The participants in the music group listened to music of their preference.
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.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a vein imaging device and virtual reality distraction on the success of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIC) placement, intervention duration, emotional appearance, pain, fear, and anxiety related to PIC intervention in children aged 4-10 years in a pediatric emergency unit.
It is known that non-pharmacological methods are effective in reducing pain in children and that they increase the effectiveness of drugs when used together with analgesics. Non-pharmacological methods are preferred because they are easy to apply and cheap, and they reduce the need for drug administration and thus the risk of side effects. Knowing the impact of pain and associated fear on children, developing appropriate pain control strategies is both a medical and ethical responsibility. Reviewing the literature, there is little scientific evidence that multisensory stimulation is an effective intervention in reducing pain and fear after surgery in children. When the studies on the effect of multisensory stimulation on pain and fear in childhood are examined, it is seen that the studies mostly aim to reduce pain and fear in the neonatal period or before surgery. It is thought that it is an important limitation that multisensory stimulation, which is an effective method for reducing pain and fear in childhood, does not examine its direct effects on postoperative pain, physiological parameters and fear after surgical procedures in children. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the effect of multisensory stimulation on postoperative pain, physiological parameters and fear in children after the surgical procedure.
The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of anxiety in adult patients attending the ED of the Medical Centre Leeuwarden.
