Pediatric emergency services are of critical importance for pediatric patients admitted due to sudden illnesses and traumas. However, these environments are serious sources of stress and anxiety for children due to reasons such as uncertainty, pain, and separation anxiety. The emergency service experience can have long-term effects on the child's psychological state and negatively affect the success of medical interventions. Therefore, the development and implementation of various methods to reduce children's anxiety has become a great necessity. In recent years, interactive toys and robotic systems have been increasingly used in medical settings to reduce children's anxiety. Such technological tools have been shown to provide emotional support to children, reduce stress levels by distracting them, and make medical procedures more tolerable. However, there is not enough evidence-based research on the effectiveness of interactive toys and robots, especially in emergency settings, during common but frightening procedures such as nebulized inhalation. This study aims to evaluate the effect of interactive toys and robots on anxiety and fear in children receiving nebulized inhalation treatment in pediatric emergency services. This study, which will be conducted using a randomized controlled design, will make a significant contribution to understanding and improving children's psychological responses to medical procedures. The study was planned as a randomized controlled trial. The population of this study will be conducted in the pediatric emergency department of Ankara Provincial Health Directorate Yıldırım Beyazıt University Yenimahalle Education and Research Hospital between 05.05.2025-05.05.2026. The sample of this study will consist of 72 children aged between 4-10 who agreed to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria and who received nebulized inhalation treatment and met the inclusion criteria. Hypotheses of the study: H0 = Playing with interactive toys and interactive robots during nebulized inhalation treatment has no effect on anxiety and fear in children. H1 = Playing with interactive toys and interactive robots during nebulized inhalation treatment is effective in reducing anxiety and fear in children.

The aim of the project is to examine the effects of two different distraction methods used in preschool children receiving inhalation therapy on fear and anxiety levels. Children are exposed to various hospital procedures throughout their lives. These procedures cause children to experience fear, pain and anxiety. One of these procedures is inhalation therapy. When children wear the face masks required for inhalation, they experience intense fear and anxiety. Non-pharmacological techniques are used for the effective management of this fear and anxiety. Among these techniques, distraction is the easy-to-apply. When applying distraction techniques, the child's developmental period, age group and interest should be taken into consideration. The project is a randomized controlled trial. The universe of the study will consist of children between the ages of 4-6 who received inhalation therapy for the first time in the pediatric emergency department of Erzincan Mengücek Gazi Education and Research Hospital between September 2025 and September 2026. In collecting the research data, "Questionnaire Form", "Child Fear Scale" and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" will be used. The two different methods to be used will be designed to attract the attention and interest of the age groups of the children to be included in the research. In this way, it is thought that the child will focus his/her attention and curiosity on the two different methods to be used and the level of fear and anxiety will be affected during the inhalation treatment. This will increase the child's compliance and cooperation with the treatment and will encourage the child. When the international and national literature was scanned, no study was found that investigated the effects of the two different distraction methods covered in the research during inhalation treatment. With the two different distraction methods to be used, inhalation treatment, which is a source of fear and anxiety for children, will become fun.
NCT06841289
This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to minimize the pain, anxiety and fear of the child during venous blood sampling in order to avoid a painful experience in the future. The research will be conducted in the Pediatric Blood Collection Unit of Giresun Gynecology and Obstetrics Training and Research Hospital in children aged 6-10 years. The research data will be collected using the "Information Form on Descriptive Characteristics of the Child and Blood Collection Procedure, Child Anxiety Scale-Disposition (CAS-D), Oucher Scale, Child Fear Scale (CFS), Venham Pictorial Anxiety Scale (VRAAS)" and Nurse-Patient Cooperation and Parent Satisfaction Form (NPPS-EMF).
NCT06688877
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the reduction of the noises (through head phones with music and noise cancelling) that occur during wisdom teeth removal, leads to a significant reduction in fear levels in patients compared to patients who do not have any noise reduction. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do music and noise cancelling help patients to have less fear during wisdom teeth removal surgery by reducing the sounds of the surgery? Is there a difference between just the noise cancelling function or is it better to combine noise cancelling and music together? Participants will: Just come to their regular appointment (wisdom teeth removal) to our clinic, no follow ups needed. All participants will answer one questionnaire before and one after the surgery. All of them will have their rate of heartbeat measured for three times (before, during and after surgery, measured by a puls oximeter on the finger). They will be allocated to one of the three study groups (no headphones, headphones with noise cancelling or headphones with noise cancelling and music).
NCT05250804
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the Helfer Skin Tapping technique on pain, fear, and anxiety in children who received intramuscular injections. The research hypotheses are as follows: H0: There is no significant difference between the intervention group and the the control group in the mean score of the "Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale", "Child Fear Scale", and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" during and after the Helfer Skin Tapping technique. H1: During and after the Helfer Skin Tapping technique, the mean score of the "Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale", "Child Fear Scale", and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" is significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group.
