Hypotheses of the Study:
H0: There is no difference between the postoperative pain score and mobilization time of children mobilized on the interactive floor and children mobilized with routine applications.
H1: Children mobilized on the interactive floor have lower pain scores than children in the control group.
H2: Children mobilized on the interactive floor have longer mobilization times than children in the control group.
H3: Children mobilized on the interactive floor have lower peak heart rate than children in the control group.
H4: Oxygen saturation of children mobilized on the interactive floor is higher than children in the control group.
Read the detailed description
Pre-Mobilization:
The data for the child and family in the Interactive floor group and the control group who agreed to participate in the study and whose consent was obtained will be recorded by the researcher in the 'Child and Family Introductory Information Form' before mobilization with the patient file and face-to-face interview technique. Immediately before the 1st, 2nd and 3rd mobilizations of the child participating in the study in the postoperative period, pain score, peak heart rate and oxygen saturation values will be recorded without the child getting out of bed (while resting in bed).
During Mobilization:
Experimental group: Mobilization of children in this group will be provided on the interactive floor installed in the relevant ward. During the 1st, 2nd and 3rd mobilization, the child will be accompanied by the parent, nurse and researcher. In addition, during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd mobilization (the mobilization time will be evaluated by taking into account the time from the child getting out of bed to returning to bed), the mobilization time of the children will be measured with a stopwatch by an observer nurse who is not involved in the study and recorded in the data collection form. The mobilization time will depend on the child's own will and no restrictive intervention will be made by the researcher. In addition, pain scores, peak heart rate and oxygen saturation values will be recorded during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd mobilization (after the child has finished walking and before/while standing on the bed).
Control group: Mobilization of children in this group will be provided in the corridor, which is the routine of the relevant service, and they will be prevented from seeing the interactive floor before mobilization. Children in this group will be allowed to use the interactive floor in their mobilization after their 3rd mobilization.
During mobilization, the child will be accompanied by his/her parent, nurse and researcher. During the 1st, 2nd and 3rd mobilization, the child will be accompanied by his/her parent, nurse and researcher. In addition, during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd mobilization (the mobilization time will be evaluated by considering the time from the time the child gets out of bed to the time the child returns to bed), the mobilization time of the children will be measured with a stopwatch by an observer nurse who is not involved in the study and recorded in the data collection form. The mobilization time will depend on the child's own will and no restrictive intervention will be made by the researcher. In addition, pain score, peak heart rate and oxygen saturation values will be recorded during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd mobilization (after the child has finished walking and before/while standing on the bed).
After Mobilization: Immediately after the 1st, 2nd and 3rd mobilizations of the children in both groups, pain scores, peak heart rate and oxygen saturation values of the children will be recorded when the child sits/ lies down on the bed and after the children rest in the bed for 15 minutes.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
İnteractive floorOther
Interactive floor The interactive floor system includes a computer, camera and projection. With the projection, videos that are ready on the computer are projected on the floor, image processing is done with the camera and it detects whether there is an object on the floor or not and creates effects on the video. For example, on the floor containing colored balloons, the balloons burst with the movement of the child. With this visual mobility, it is aimed to draw the child's attention to another direction.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental Group: group using interactive floor | Experimental | Postoperative mobilization of children in this group will be provided on the interactive floor installed in the relevant ward. Receives: Other: İnteractive floor |
| Control Group | No intervention | The postoperative mobilization of children in this group will be provided in the corridor, which is the routine of the relevant service, and they will be prevented from seeing the interactive floor before mobilization. Children in this group will be allowed to use the interactive floor in their mobilization after their 3rd mobilization. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Postoperative Pain Score
Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale The Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale is a pain scale that was developed by Donna Wong and Connie Baker. The scale shows a series of faces ranging from a happy face at 0, or "no hurt", to a crying face at 10, which represents "hurts like the worst pain imaginable". Based on the faces and written descriptions, the patient chooses the face that best describes their level of pain.
There are 6 faces in the Wong-Baker Pain Scale. The first face represents a pain score of 0, and indicates "no hurt". The second face represents a pain score of 2, and indicates "hurts a little bit". The third face represents a pain score of 4, and indicates "hurts a little more". The fourth face represents a pain score of 6, and indicates "hurts even more". The fifth face represents a pain score of 8, and indicates "hurts a whole lot"; the sixth face represents a pain score of 10, and indicates "hurts worst". This pain scale was originally developed for children.
Measured: The child will be asked to rate the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scales 3 times: immediatelybefore mobilization, during mobilization and immediately after the mobilization.
Secondary outcomes (1)
Mobilization Time
Duration of the child's 1st, 2nd and 3rd postoperative mobilization The study is planned to be conducted at the first (approximately 8 hours after surgery), second (approximately 9 hours after surgery) and third (approximately 10 hours after surgery) postoperative mobilization of the children.
Measured: 1st, 2nd and 3rd postoperative mobilization of the child. Each mobilization will take an average of 5-15 minutes.

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Postoperative Pain Score (time frame: The child will be asked to rate the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scales 3 times: immediatelybefore mobilization, during mobilization and immediately after the mobilization.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06571123, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Dec 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
