Summary

This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effect of ready-made picture template coloring activity on children's anxiety and fear before circumcision. Data is planned to be collected between November 2024 and February 2025 with children between the ages of 5-10 who are planned to be circumcised in a hospital in the Southeastern Anatolia Region. The study consists of painting and control groups. The group in which the participants will be included will be determined by the stratified randomization method. The anxiety status of the children in the painting and control groups will be evaluated using the Children's State Anxiety (CSA) and their fears will be evaluated using the Children's Fear Scale (CFS) based on the reports of both the mother and the child before and after painting. Data collection will be completed before the child is circumcised.

The child will be asked to go to the child with the ready-made picture template and coloring pencils and color the given picture with the colors they want. Children's anxiety will be assessed using the Children's State Anxiety (CSA) and their fears will be assessed using the Children's Fear Scale (CFS) based on both mother's and child's reports before painting and after the painting process is completed (half an hour after the first measurement).
