Summary

In this study, the effect of education in creating positive hospital perception for healthy children aged 8-10 years will be examined with a randomized controlled repeated measures design. All children between the ages of 8-10 attending Battalgazi Primary School in Sultanbeyli district of Istanbul province who meet the inclusion criteria (159 children in total) will be included. According to the results of the draw, 71 children will be included in the research group and 88 children will be included in the control group. The children assigned to the research group will be given the training prepared after the first measurement of the Hospital Perception Scale for Healthy Children. For the children in the control group, a second measurement will be made after the first application of the scale without any training. Children in the research and control groups will then be trained together. The content of the training will include introductions, what the hospital is like, what equipment and devices are in the hospital, who works in the hospital and what their duties are, what are the procedures performed in the hospital, how being in the hospital affects the child's life (sleep, play, eating and drinking, family, school, friends). The second measurement of the scale will be applied to the children in the research group after the training. The "Child Identifying Information Form" and "Informed Consent Form", which will be prepared by the researcher and the consultant for the children in the research and control groups to determine the age, gender, educational status, and previous hospital experiences of the child and his/her family, will be sent to the children and their parents one day before the training day and they will be asked to fill it out at home if they consent to participate in the study.
