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.

Conditions

  • Healthy

Interventions

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.

BEHAVIORAL

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.

BEHAVIORAL

listening to music
