This study aims to determine the effects of playing with therapeutic toys made by nursing students on children's fear and pain levels towards treatment and the satisfaction levels of student nurses and parents.
There are a limited number of studies in the literature examining the effects of therapeutic play implemented by nursing students. Although there are many studies showing that therapeutic play intervention is an effective intervention for sick children, it is seen that these studies are mostly conducted by researchers or clinical staff, and nursing students who have been in pediatric wards for a long time due to their clinical practices are far from therapeutic play practices. Therapeutic play may be a way for nursing students to initiate communication with children more easily. Therefore, there is a need for large-scale studies including nursing students. Starting from their student years, nursing students using therapeutic play as a means of communication with sick children may make them more willing to use such activities in their professional lives. In addition, determining the satisfaction levels is important for the continuation of such studies in clinical practice.

| Child and Parent Information Form | This form, developed by the researcher in line with the literature, was created to determine the descriptive characteristics of children and parents receiving inpatient treatment. This form was filled out by the parents of the children receiving inpatient treatment, using a face-to-face interview technique, half an hour before the treatment. | First measurement: 30 minute before treatment |
| Wong-Baker Pain Scale | It was developed by Wong and Baker in 1988. Patients' pain levels are evaluated by numbering their facial expressions. The numbering is as follows; "0" No pain, "1" A little pain, "2" A little more, "3" A lot more, "4" Quite a lot, "5" The most severe pain level. An increase in the score indicates that the severity of the pain also increases. This form was filled just before treatment. | First measurement: Just before treatment |
| Child Fear Scale | It was developed by McMurtry and his colleagues to measure the fear levels of children aged 4-10. The scale is used to measure the child's fear level. The CQ is a scale that evaluates between 0-4, consisting of five drawn facial expressions ranging from a neutral expression (0=no fear) to a frightened face (4=severe fear). This form was filled just before treatment. | First measurement: Just before treatment |

The universe of the study consisted of hospitalized children aged 3-6, their primary caregivers, and 3rd year nursing students taking the Pediatric Nursing course.
Children and Parents: G*Power 3.1.9.6. program was used to calculate the sample size of the study. According to the a priori power analysis of the study with one-way hypothesis, 0.634 effect size, 0.05 significance level, and 0.80 power; it was determined that including a total of 64 (Experiment: 32 children + parents, Control: 32 children + parents) children in the study would provide a sufficient sample size.
Nursing students: No sample calculation method was used, and all students who wanted to make therapeutic toys and play games with their patients were included in the study. 141 students who wanted to participate in the study out of a total of 178 students taking the course were included in the study.
