About

This study aimed to determine the effects of listening to fairy tales, listening to fairy tales from the mother's voice, and watching cartoons on pain, comfort, and physiological parameters during tracheostomy care of children receiving palliative care.

Full description

Seventeen volunteer children between the ages of 1 and 7 receiving palliative care will be randomly assigned to three groups: a storytelling group, a mother's voice storytelling group, and a cartoon group. Each intervention will be administered once a day for one week. There will be a one-week washout period between interventions, during which time the children will receive routine nursing care. No intervention other than the storytelling or cartoon intervention will be administered to all three groups. Children will be assessed before, during, and after the procedure. PAIN RELATED TO THE TRACEOSTOMY PROCEDURE will be assessed using the FLACC Pain Scale, and comfort will be assessed using the Child Comfort Scale. Additionally, the children's heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, tidal volume, and temperature will be measured using a bedside monitor.
