Summary

It is emphasized in the studies that the child and parent anxiety that occurs in pediatric surgery should be prevented or reduced. According to previous studies, one way to reduce child and parent anxiety in the preoperative process is to inform the child and family with preoperative family-centered activities. Teaching children anxiety coping skills with the involvement of their parents can reduce preoperative anxiety. This study was planned to evaluate the effect of visualized education and kaleidoscope distraction on children and parents' anxiety on the day of surgery in the preoperative period.

Interventions

OTHER

Visualized Education

The child assigned to intervention group 1 will be told the operation preparation room and the pre-anesthesia process through the picture booklet prepared immediately after the pre-test (first measurement). Children included in this group will be provided to touch the bonnet, mask, gloves and self-inflated balloon (representing the ambu device), and the questions of the child and the parent will be answered.

OTHER

Distraction

Children included in intervention group 2 will be given a kaleidoscope. Each child will be given a separate kaleidoscope. It will be ensured that the child is with the parent while the child is looking at the kaleidoscope for an average of 15-20 minutes. After the attempt is over, the kaleidoscope will be presented to the child.
