Brief summary
The aim of this randomized controlled experimental study was to determine the effects of two different interventions on fear, anxiety, comfort, and pain levels during the transfer of children undergoing circumcision to the operating room. The main questions it aims to answer are: * H1: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's fear. * H2: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's anxiety. * H3: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's comfort. * H4: Animal-assisted intervention during transfer to the operating room affects children's pain. * H5: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's fear. * H6: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's anxiety. * H7: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's comfort. * H8: Playing with a kaleidoscope during transfer to the operating room affects children's pain. Researchers will investigate the effects of animal-assisted intervention and kaleidoscopes on anxiety, fear, pain, and comfort during the transfer to the operating room in boys aged 7-10 undergoing circumcision. A comparison will be made with a control group to determine this effectiveness. Participants: * The animal-assisted intervention group will initiate interaction with a goldfish in a portable aquarium during the preoperative period and accompany them until they arrive in the operating room. * The kaleidoscope group will be distracted with a kaleidoscope during the preoperative period and continue this intervention until they arrive in the operating room. * The control group will follow the hospital's routine patient transfer procedure.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Animal-assisted therapy intervention applied during transfer to the operating room changes Child Anxiety Scale scores in the preoperative period. | 10 minutes before surgery | Child Anxiety Scale: The score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0 and 10 points. As the score increases, the anxiety level also increases. |
| Animal-assisted therapy intervention applied during transfer to the operating room changes Child Fear Scale scores in the preoperative period. | 10 minutes before surgery | Child Fear Scale: The score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0 and 4 points. As the score increases, the fear level also increases. |
| Animal-assisted therapy intervention applied during transfer to the operating room changes Wong-Baker pain scale scores in the postoperative period. | up to the 1st postoperative hour | Wong-Baker Pain Scale: The score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0 and 10 points. As the score increases, the pain level also increases. |
| Animal-assisted therapy intervention applied during transfer to the operating room changes Comfort Behaviors Checklist scores in the postoperative period. | up to the 1st postoperative hour | Comfort Behaviors Checklist: The score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 25 and 100 points. As the score increases, the comfort level also increases. |
| Kaleidoscope intervention applied during transfer to the operating room changes Child Anxiety Scale scores in the preoperative period. | 10 minutes before surgery | Child Anxiety Scale: The score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0 and 10 points. As the score increases, the anxiety level also increases. |
| Kaleidoscope intervention applied during transfer to the operating room changes Child Fear Scale scores in the preoperative period. | 10 minutes before surgery | Child Fear Scale: The score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0 and 4 points. As the score increases, the fear level also increases. |
| Kaleidoscope intervention applied during transfer to the operating room changes Wong-Baker pain scale scores in the postoperative period. | up to the 1st postoperative hour | Wong-Baker Pain Scale: The score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0 and 10 points. As the score increases, the pain level also increases. |
| Kaleidoscope intervention applied during transfer to the operating room changes Comfort Behaviors Checklist scores in the postoperative period. | up to the 1st postoperative hour | Comfort Behaviors Checklist: The score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 25 and 100 points.
