The Effect of Educational Animation on Anxiety and Fear in Children With Tympanostomy Tube Placement in Pediatric Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

A nurse will explain the process of ear tube surgery to children in an educational video. This educational video scenario includes information about a child's fears before surgery, the structure of the ear, what they are most curious about, what an ear tube is, what happens during and after surgery. The educational video will be made by a person specialized in computer technologies. Artificial intelligence will be used in the vocalization of the educational video. Expert opinion will be taken for the instructional video. The duration of the educational video is planned to be in the range of 3-4 minutes in total.

The standard information given to all children who had ear tube surgery in the relevant ward will be given to the children in the control group.
