Summary

This study was designed as a three-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effects of animation-based training versus brochure-based training before echocardiography on children's anxiety, fear, and physiological parameters.

Research Hypotheses H1: Children aged 7-10 who receive animation-based educational videos prior to the echocardiography (ECHO) procedure will have lower levels of anxiety and fear compared to children receiving routine care.

H2: Children aged 7-10 who receive brochure-based education before the ECHO procedure will have lower levels of anxiety and fear compared to children receiving routine care.

H3: The effects of animation-based education and brochure-based education on children's anxiety and fear levels before the ECHO procedure differ.

H4: In groups that received cartoon/video-based education and brochure-based education before the ECHO procedure, parents' satisfaction with nursing care is higher than in the routine care group.

Conditions

  • Effects of Animation Based Video Education and Brochure Based Education Before the Echocardiography Procedure

Interventions

OTHER

Animated based video education

In the animated based video educaton group, in addition to the routine procedure, animated videos titled "Ipek's Echocardiography Adventure" (a character suitable for the 7-year-old age group) and "Can's Echocardiography Adventure" (a character suitable for the older age group)-each approximately four minutes long-were shown to the children via computer. A parent and a researcher were present with the child during the video viewing. The researcher answered any questions the children asked.

OTHER

Brochure based education

In the brochure group, in addition to the routine procedure, children received standardized education about the echocardiography procedure using age-appropriate brochures prepared by the researchers. During the education session, the researcher answered the children's questions.
