The Effect of a Drama-Based Coloring Storybook on Children's Fear, Anxiety, and Pain Management in the Perioperative Process: "Alican's Brave Journey"
Sponsor: Bingol University
Summary
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of a drama-based coloring storybook on children's fear, anxiety, and pain management during the perioperative process. The study will be conducted with children aged 6-9 years who are scheduled for elective surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving the drama-based coloring storybook or a control group receiving routine preoperative care. Levels of fear, anxiety, and pain will be assessed using validated measurement tools at predefined perioperative time points. The findings are expected to contribute to evidence-based, child-centered perioperative care practices.

Drama-Based Coloring Storybook Intervention
Children aged 6-9 years in the experimental group receive a drama-based coloring storybook before surgery. The storybook, titled "Alican's Brave Journey," is designed to prepare children for the perioperative process through age-appropriate storytelling, coloring activities, and dramatic elements. The intervention is administered once during the preoperative period under the supervision of the researcher and aims to reduce preoperative fear, anxiety, and perceived pain.
