Routine treatment and nursing care applications of the service were done preoperationally. After the researcher and the children in study group sat on a chair facing each other, hand massage procedure, 8 minutes to both hands and a total of 16 minutes hand massage was applied with liquid petrolatum.

Right 16 minutes after the 1st filled forms in each group, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, Physiological Symptoms of Anxiety Inspection Form were read, measurement was done and 2nd measurement values were recorded.

Masking description

Masking Description According to the randomization table, the information showing the patients included in the research sample is assigned to the A and B groups will be put in an opaque envelope. This envelope will be kept by the coordinator researcher (DL) and when the researcher (FA) goes to the patient for application, after filling out the Informed Voluntary Consent Form, he will open the envelope and learn which group is in which group. Due to the nature of the study, patients and the researcher (FA) will notbe blinded, since abdominal massage will be applied only to the patients included in the study. When the research is completed, the data will be transferred to the computer environment by a statistician who does not know the A and B groups, and the data will be analyzed by a statistician independent of the research and the findings will be reported. Thus, the data analysis and statistics phase will be blind to group assignment

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Anxiety evaluated using the State Anxiety ScaleChange from before implementation and after 16 minutes of practice (hand massage)Scores ranging from 20 to 80 points are obtained in the scale. In the total score obtained from the scale in scoring the scale, 0-19 points indicate the absence of anxiety, 20-39 points indicate mild anxiety, 40-59 points indicate moderate anxiety, and 60-79 points indicate severe anxiety level. Higher state anxiety scores indicate that anxiety level is also hig

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Blood pressureChange from before implementation and after 16 minutes of practice (hand massage)systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mmHg
Heart rateChange from before implementation and after 16 minutes of practice (hand massage)beats per minute
respiratory rateChange from before implementation and after 16 minutes of practice (hand massage)ekspiration and inspiration per minute
peripheral oxygen saturationChange from before implementation and after 16 minutes of practice (hand massage)%, percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in peripheral arterial blood
