Intervention model description
The population will consist of children between the ages of 7-10 who presented to the pediatric dental clinic of an oral and dental health center Turkey. The sample size of the study was calculated as GPOWER 3.1 statistical analysis software, based on a significance level of 0.05, a power value of 80%, and an effect size of 0.15 (medium effect size). Considering 10% attrition, it will plan to sample a total of 80 children, including 40 in the experimental group and 40 in the control group. Eventually, a total of 120 children, 60 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group,will include in the study to reveal the relationship between the variables more clearly.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Anxiety Means | 1-4 Weeks | Anxiety score will be measured with the Child Fear and Anxiety Scale. The lowest score from the scale can be 0 and the highest score can be 10. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the child's anxiety increases. In this study, if children get high scores from the anxiety section of the scale, it will be determined that they have high procedural anxiety. Getting a low score from the scale will indicate that their anxiety about the procedure is low. |
| Fear Means | 1-4 Weeks | Fear score will be measured with the Children's fear and anxiety scale. The lowest score from the scale can be 0 and the highest score can be 10.
