Objective: The study was carried out in a randomized controlled manner to determine the effect of the watching cartoons on the fear and anxiety levels of children during treatment.

A total of 92 children, 43 of whom were in the cartoon group and 49 of which were in the control group, were included in the study. Research findings; Data Form was obtained by using Child Anxiety Scale and Child Fear Scale. The children in the cartoon group were shown the cartoons they wanted during the treatment.

The anxiety level of the children was evaluated according to their own expressions, and the level of fear was evaluated independently according to both the children's own statements and the observers' statements.
