Brief Summary: The study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of playing digital games and watching cartoons on the pain fear and anxiety levels of children during suturing in the pediatric emergency unit The population of the study which is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study will consist of children between the ages of 5-10 who apply to the Trauma Unit of the Pediatric Emergency Unit of Tarsus State Hospital and undergo suturing

As a result of the Power analysis GPower 3192 effect size 1136 95 confidence interval 95 power it was calculated that a total of 66 children at least 22 in each group should be included Considering that there may be dropout and confounding variables in the research process it was determined as 90 children in total with 30 children in each group

Implementation Stage 1 A pool of cartoons that can be watched and digital games that can be played suitable for the level of the child in the 5-10 age group will be created by the researchers by taking the opinion of the relevant experts The created childrenamp39s cartoon and digital game pool will be sent to experts in the field child development specialist child psychiatrist child nurse

Stage 2 A pilot study will be conducted with 10 children to evaluate the suitability of data collection forms digital games and cartoons for children

Stage 3 The children and family members in the sample group will be informed about how the application will be carried out and about the research and written permission will be obtained from the family and verbal permission will be obtained from the child

It will be ensured that the children in all groups will have their parents with them during the procedure

Stage 4 Children who meet the sample selection criteria will be divided into 3 groups 1st study group 2nd study group and 3rd group control group through a computerized programme

Stage 5 The data collection form in the research will be applied to the children in the sample group before the procedure

6th Stage The pain fear and anxiety of the children in all groups before the procedure will be evaluated by the child parent and nurse
Detailed Description: Children experience a traumatic process if cuts occur anywhere on their body after an accident It has been reported that nursing interventions applied during incision suturing relieve the anxiety and fears of the child Two main ways are defined as pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods in pain and anxiety management Therefore standards have not yet been established for their inclusion in daily patient care Non-pharmacological methods aim to reduce fear anxiety and pain and to give children a sense of control Both physical and cognitive behavioral approaches are necessary to provide a comfortable environment for children It is also important to use non-pharmacological interventions during medical procedures to reduce the stress experienced by parents Nurses can apply these methods independently and encourage family members to participate in patient care actively Visual distractions minimize pain and also allow action to be taken in an emergency Various games and cartoons allow the child to express their fears misconceptions and anxieties in their own way both verbally and non-verbally thus helping the child to cope with stressful situations

The study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of playing digital games and watching cartoons on the pain fear and anxiety levels of children during suturing in the pediatric emergency unit The population of the study which is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study will consist of children between the ages of 5-10 who apply to the Trauma Unit of the Pediatric Emergency Unit of Tarsus State Hospital and undergo suturing

While determining the sample size of the study as the result of the literature review to determine the effect size sample size Kavlakcı 2020 The Effect of Digital Game Playing on Pain Fear and Anxiety Levels During Suturing in Children A Randomised Controlled Study was taken as a basis As a result of the Power analysis GPower 3192 effect size 1136 95 confidence interval 95 power it was calculated that a total of 66 children at least 22 in each group should be included Considering that there may be dropout and confounding variables in the research process it was determined as 90 children in total with 30 children in each group

The data of the research will be collected using the following data collection tool

Introductory Information Form It consists of a total of 15 questions including sociodemographic characteristics 13 questions and 2 questions about the procedure prepared in line with the literature

2 Child Fear Scale The scale was developed by Thurillet et al to evaluate the fears of children based on the self-report of children aged 4-12 years Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Tavşan et al The scale consists of six facial expressions The scale grades fear with a score ranging from 0 to 10 gradually graded two by two consistent with pain rating scales The first facial expression indicates that there is no fear the fear increases as you go from right to left and the sixth facial expression indicates that the level of fear is the highest A statistically significant positive and very high correlation was obtained between the Fear Scale and the Child Fear Scale The high correlation value between the two forms shows that the child form is valid The content validity index and item-coverage validity index values of the scale were found to be 098 A very good statistically significant agreement was achieved between the Fear Scale and the Child Fear Scale Permission for the use of the scale was obtained from the author via e-mail

3 Child Anxiety Scale-Dispositional Scale CAS-D The Turkish validity and reliability study of the Child Anxiety Scale-Dispositional CAS-D scale developed by Ersig et al to measure the anxiety levels of children aged 4-10 years was conducted by Gerçeker et al The CAS-D scale is shaped like a thermometer with a light bulb at the bottom and horizontal lines with intervals going upwards In this scale for children aged 4-10 years children are asked Imagine that all your anxious or nervous feelings are at the bulb or bottom of the thermometer or If you are a little anxious or nervous the feelings may go up a little on the thermometer If you are very very anxious or nervous emotions can go all the way to the top Put a line on the thermometer showing how anxious or nervous you are In order to measure state anxiety CAS-D the child is asked to tick how heshe feels right now The score can vary between 0-10 Permission for the use of the scale was obtained from the author via e-mail

4 Wong-Baker Pain Scale It was developed by Donna Wong and Connie Morain Baker in 1980 and adapted again in 1983 to measure the pain levels of pediatric patients There are 6 facial expressions scored between 0-5 In the Wong-Baker Scale there are facial expressions indicating the increasing degree of pain from 0 to 5 from left to right

5 Life Findings Follow-up Form It was prepared to record the heart rate saturation value and respiration values of the children when they came to the trauma unit before the procedure and the vital signs measured immediately after the procedure
