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:
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.

| Animal Assisted Practice | Behavioral | The animal-assisted intervention group initiated interaction with a goldfish in a portable aquarium during the preoperative period and accompanied them until they reached the operating room. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Animal-assisted therapy intervention applied during transfer to the operating room changes Child Anxiety Scale scores in the preoperative period. | 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. | 10 minutes before surgery |
| Animal-assisted therapy intervention applied during transfer to the operating room changes Child Fear Scale scores in the preoperative period. | 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. | 10 minutes before surgery |
| Animal-assisted therapy intervention applied during transfer to the operating room changes Wong-Baker pain scale scores in the postoperative period. | 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. | up to the 1st postoperative hour |
