About this study

Official title: The Effect of Listening To Music And Foot Reflexology on Nausea, Pain And Anxiety in Children During Perioperative Period

The population of the research will be children between the ages of 7 and 12 who underwent day surgery at the Pediatric Surgery Clinic of the Gynecology and Childhood Hospital of Ordu University Training and Research Hospital. The sample of the study will consist of 99 children who have undergone a day surgery operation between the specified dates, who meet the case selection criteria and agree to participate in the study.

Read the detailed description

First of all, the hospitalized children and their parents will be informed about the study. Verbal and written consent will be obtained from the child and his/her parents who agreed to participate in the study before starting the study. "Child and Parent Descriptive Information Form, Baxter Nausea Scale-BARF, Multidimensional Perioperative Anxiety Scale in Children and Children's Emotional Indicator Scale will be administered to all children in the experimental and control groups 30 minutes before the operation (1st measurement). Before going to the operation, the music listening group will listen to music with a music pillow for 15 minutes, foot reflexology will be applied for 10 minutes to the foot reflexology group, and no application will be made to the control group. 10 minutes after the application, Baxter Nausea Scale-BARF, Multidimensional Perioperative Anxiety Scale in Children and Children's Emotional Indicator Scale will be administered again to all three groups (experimental and control) (2nd measurement). When the child comes to the service from the recovery unit after the surgery and after the necessary medical intervention (60th minute postoperatively), all scales will be applied (3rd measurement) and then the music listening group will be listened to with a music pillow for 15 minutes, reflexology will be applied to the foot reflexology group for 10 minutes, and the control group will be no application will be made and after 10 minutes all the scales will be re-administered to the experimental and control groups (4th measurement). Finally, 30 minutes before the child is discharged. First, all scales will be applied to the experimental and control groups again and an evaluation will be made with these results (5th measurement).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Music Listening ApplicationOther

    15 minutes before going to the surgery, the child's favorite and chosen music piece will be loaded onto the mp3 player and played by the researcher via the "creatone music pillow" for 15 minutes. After the child returns to the service from the recovery room (the room where the patient is observed in the operating room for a certain period of time until he recovers from the surgery and his general condition is stable), and after he regains consciousness, music will be played by the music group again for 15 minutes.

  • Foot Reflexology Practice:Other

    Children in this group; Before going to the surgery, foot reflexology will be applied by the researcher, only to the left foot, for 10 minutes. After the child returns to the service from the recovery room (the room where the patient is observed in the operating room for a certain period of time until he recovers from the surgery and his general condition is stable), and after he regains consciousness, foot reflexology will be applied again, only on the left foot, for 10 minutes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Baxter Nausea Scale- BARF Score

    A score of 0 from the scale indicates that there is no nausea- vomiting, and a score of 10 indicates that there is nausea-vomiting

    Measured: Nausea and vomiting change in the perioperative period.

  2. Eastern Ontario Children's Hospital Pain Scale

    The total score from the scale is evaluated as the lowest 4 points and the highest 13 points. A high total score from the scale indicates that the child has high postoperative pain

    Measured: Pain change in the perioperative period.

  3. Multidimensional Perioperative Anxiety Scale (MCPSPS)

    The scale is a visual analog scale consisting of 5 items and scored between 0-100, prepared for children

    aged 7-13 who will undergo day surgery. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates that the child\'s perioperative anxiety increases.

    Measured: Anxiety change in the perioperative period.

  4. Children's Emotional Indicator Scale (CBRS)

    As the scores obtained from the scale increase, negative emotional indicators increase. The rating is between 5-25 points.

    Measured: Emotional change in the perioperative period.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Heart rate (HR)

    It was created to monitor the heart rate (HR) of children in the perioperative period.

    Measured: Heart rate in the perioperative period.

  2. body temperature

    body temperature of children in the perioperative period.

    Measured: Body temperature change in the perioperative period.

  3. oxygen saturation (SpO2)

    oxygen saturation (SpO2) of children in the perioperative period.

    Measured: SpO2 change in the perioperative period.

  4. blood pressure

    blood pressure of children in the perioperative period.

    Measured: Blood pressure change in the perioperative period.

  5. respiratory rate

    respiratory rate of children in the perioperative period.

    Measured: respiratory rate change in the perioperative period.
