Anxiety Means
Anxiety score will be measured with the Child Fear and Anxiety Scale. The lowest score from the scale can be 0 and the highest score can be 10. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the child's anxiety increases. In this study, if children get high scores from the anxiety section of the scale, it will be determined that they have high procedural anxiety. Getting a low score from the scale will indicate that their anxiety about the procedure is low.
Time frame: 1-4 Weeks
Fear Means
Fear score will be measured with the Children's fear and anxiety scale. The lowest score from the scale can be 0 and the highest score can be 10.
