Detailed Description

Children's fears about the hospital are traumatic and confront us as a hindering factor in their growth and development.Bringing the child to the emergency room and not knowing what will happen there creates great fear in him. Children already have different fears according to different age groups and developmental stages.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: study group

Animal-supported application will be made to the children in the study group.

Other: ANIMAL-ASSISTED INTERVENTION
It will be ensured that the child is introduced to the goldfish when he is lying in the observation room, that the child will name the fish, and that he will communicate and feed the fish during his stay. Thus, it is aimed to turn the attention of the child to the goldfish while in the emergency room, to distract the child with the fish while all nursing interventions are presented, and to reduce the fear.
Experimental: control group

Routine care will be given to the children in the control group.

Other: Routine Care
Routine nursing care will be provided.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. The Scale Development of Fear in Children Against Nursing Interventions and Used Materıals [2 hours]

    The scale was created to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool for children to determine their fear of nursing interventions and used materials. As a result of the validity and reliability analyzes of the scale, it was composed of 18 items. The scale has 2 sub-dimensions. These are fear of common materials (10 items) and fear of uncommon materials (8 items). The scale was scored as (1) not afraid, (2) little afraid, (3) afraid, (4) very afraid, (5) extremely afraid.

  2. Child Fear Scale [2 hours]

    The Scale is a scale consisting of the display of five drawn facial expressions, ranging from neutral expression (0 points) to "no fear" to frightened face (4 points) to "severe fear". The scale is intended for children aged 5-10 years.
