About this study

It was conducted with children aged 6-12 years in the postoperative period in a randomized controlled manner. Children in the intervention (n:50) group were mobilized by playing environmental games.The children in the control group (n:50) underwent routine mobilization of the clinic.

The data were collected with the "Child Follow-up Form", which was created to evaluate the child's demographic characteristics, physiological parameters, pain and fear.

Device

The game is played with a maximum of four people. Beginning points are marked with blue, red, yellow and green colors, the game progress direction is The starting color for the player is determined with the help of arrows. Dice with the biggest number The child who throws starts the game first from the starting point that belongs to him. Play ground Each child who completes a circuit around him reads from his second point. it tries to go inwards (to the world square) in the direction it points. Equivalent to card check box The next child draws one of the face down cards. the instruction written on the back of the card.

implements. Then he puts the card on the back of the other cards. Cards are reward (go forward), penalty (backward) git) cards. Coming second to the same frame during the game The child first starts the game from the starting point of the child in the square. First The child who manages to enter the world square wins the game.

Primary outcomes

  1. The effect of environmental play on premobilization pain score of children

    Time frame: 30 seconds
