Perioperative Paediatric Application
Children in the experimental group will start receiving interactive perioperative preparation training with the PeroPap application 1 day before surgery and play the PeroPap game. Children will learn about the operation process by watching and playing the PeroPap character's cartoon story about the operation process. They will also listen to the song "PeroPap is having surgery" and play the "PeroPap Game" in the application, which they can play before and after surgery. At the same time, in the parent module, information will be provided for parents with the cartoon story "PeroPap is Having Surgery".
Control
In order to meet the perioperative health care needs of the children and their parents in the control group, when they applied to the outpatient clinic for anaesthesia consultation on the working day before the operation, standard individualised care interventions will be provided according to their needs preoperatively and until their discharge, and children and parents will be given surgery preparation training with the education booklet "PeroPap is Having Surgery".
