Brief summary
The aim of the study is to examine the effects of distraction methods such as watching cartoons and ball squeezing on the level of pain and physiological parameters in the postoperative period in children aged 6-12 years who have outpatient surgery. The research is a randomized controlled trial. The sample number was determined as 40 children (total 120) in each group. Information Form, Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form, Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be used to collect research data. In the initiative group, two attempts will be implemented, namely watching cartoons and squeezing the ball. Interventions will be implemented for a total of 15 minutes. Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form and Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be filled in before the interventions are applied, 10 minutes during the intervention and 5 minutes after the intervention is completed. In the control group, the 10th and 20th minute physiological parameters and the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale will be evaluated after the child comes to the service after the operation and is prepared for the postoperative period (taking vital signs, putting on clothes, controlling bleeding, telling the feeding time, etc.). In the analysis of study data; chi-square test for descriptive statistics, chi-square test for repeated measurements, single factor analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman will be used. In the study, values at the p\<0.05 level were considered statistically significant.

Interventions
OTHERWatching Cartoons
The cartoon will be watched after the child comes to the service after the operation and the postoperative period is prepared (taking the vital signs, putting on the clothes, controlling the bleeding, telling the feeding time, etc.).
OTHERball spin
ball squeezing will be applied after the child comes to the service after the operation and after the postoperative period preparation is made (taking the vital signs, dressing the clothes, controlling the bleeding, telling the feeding time, etc.).

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pain level of children | Just before the interventions and 5 minutes after the intervention | Wong Baker Pain Faces Scale mean score Wong-Baker Pain Faces Scale is widely used with people ages three and older, not limited to children. This self-assessment tool must be understood by the patient, so they are able to choose the face that best illustrates the physical pain they are experiencing. It is a tool to be used by a third person, parents, healthcare professionals, or caregivers, to assess the patient's pain. The scale is 0-10 scale. The six illustrated faces on the cards show a range of emotions, from a smiling face (0 'no pain) to a crying face (10 worst pain). 0 indicates no pain, 10 indicates the most severe pain. It is measured before, at the 10th minute and after the intervention. |
| physiological parametres of the child: body temperature level | Just before the interventions and 5 minutes after the intervention | body temperature change |
| physiological parametres of the child: peak heart rate | Just before the interventions and 5 minutes after the intervention | heart rate change |
| physiological parametres of the child: respiratory rate | Just before the interventions and 5 minutes after the intervention | respiratory rate change |
| physiological parametres of the child: oxygen saturation (SpO2) | Just before the interventions and 5 minutes after the intervention | SpO2 level change |
