About

The aim of the study is to examine the effect of animal-assisted practice on fear in children admitted to the emergency room.

Full description

Children's fears about the hospital are traumatic and confront us as a hindering factor in their growth and development.Bringing the child to the emergency room and not knowing what will happen there creates great fear in him. Children already have different fears according to different age groups and developmental stages. These; separation from family, pain and suffering, change in body image (losing body parts), etc. The state of fear can lead to a worsening of the child's existing illness and symptoms. In addition to being separated from the family, being separated from peers, not being able to play games, staying away from school if going to school, etc. they have concerns.
