Overview

This research is planned to examine the effect of "interactive floor" on post-operative pain and mobilization in children within the scope of diversion method.

Research Question: Does the interactive floor affect children's post operative pain and mobilization?

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.

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.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
