Behavioral practices applied to the child in the preoperative period; It includes methods such as introducing the hospital and operating room to children and their parents, reading storybooks, giving training books, an educational internet application with interactive games, and using visual aids. At the same time, by using an appropriate anatomy book, it can help the child to visualize his body correctly, to understand the size and location of the surgical site, and to learn where the suture will be after the intervention.In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative education with the help of audio and picture books on postoperative anxiety, quality of life and early mobilization.
Psychological preparation process in the pre-operative period; It reduces anxiety, uses less anesthetic during the operation, normalizes vital signs in a short time, uses less painkillers and helps early discharge.

No study was found in which children aged 8-12 years were educated with the help of audio and picture books before appendectomy and evaluated postoperative anxiety, quality of life and mobilization time. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative education with the help of audio and picture books on postoperative anxiety, quality of life and early mobilization. The study was planned randomized controlled study. The statistical universe of this study, includes pediatric patients who operated between February 2021 and December 2021 in Pediatric Surgery Department in Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Children's hospital. The sample includes who operated with appendectomy between the ages of 8 and 12 who met the inclusion criteria in the Pediatric Surgery Clinic as 60 children. Participants will be divided into two equal groups as intervention (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. Children and Parents Descriptive Characteristics Form, State Anxiety Inventory for Children, State Anxiety Inventory (for Parents), Quality of Life Scale for Children, Evaluation of Postoperative Mobilization Time will be used to collect data. Data will be analyzed with appropriate statistical methods using the SPSS for Windows 22.0 program (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). Descriptive statistical methods such as percentile, mean, standard deviation and median in the evaluation of data and Kolmogorov-Smirnov distribution test for examining normal distribution, chi-square test, t-test/Mann Whitney-U test for measurement data, One-Way ANOVA/Kruskall Wallis tests will be used.
