Detailed description
Technology is an indispensable part of our age and daily life . When we look at the research, it is seen that educational interventional preparation programs increase the harmony between both children, parents and health professionals. The increase in children's self-control and the elimination of unrealistic expectations may be related to the trust in healthcare professionals. Studies indicate that educational video animations are the most effective non-pharmacological method in reducing anxiety . Video animations will be useful for children because they create sound and images. It is believed that video animations with educational content that are understandable to children are essential for children's education. It is believed that animation shown to children will reduce their anxiety.
