Technological Devices in Circumcision

It aims to investigate the effect of circumcision on the pain and anxiety level of children who are circumcised by watching videos/playing games during the procedure. Previous studies have been conducted to explain the procedure with informative videos and games before circumcision, and reductions in anxiety and pain levels have been detected. The research will start with hospitalization and end with a check-up after discharge.
