Summary
This study tested two simple distractions—watching a goldfish or playing with a kaleidoscope—to help boys aged 7 to 10 feel less scared and anxious while being moved to the operating room for circumcision. Researchers compared these groups to a control group that received standard care. The goal was to see if these fun activities could lower fear, anxiety, pain, and improve comfort before and after the procedure.
