Abstract

ABSTRACT
Objective: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of watching cartoon during treatment on anxiety and fear in children.
Methods: A total of 92 children (43 in the cartoon group and 49 in the control group) were included in the study. The results of the study were obtained using Information Form, Children’s State Anxiety Scale, and Children’s Fear Scale. The children in the cartoon group watched their favourite cartoons during treatment. No distracting method was applied to the children in the control group during their routine treatment. Anxiety and fear levels in children in the cartoon and control groups were evaluated before and during intravenous treatment.
Results: Watching cartoon during iv treatment is effective on reducing anxiety and fear in children.
Conclusion: Fear and anxiety levels in children can be reduced through watching cartoon during medical procedures. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04127097.
