Summary
This study looks at whether letting children aged 4 to 10 play freely for 30 minutes before surgery can reduce their fear and anxiety, as well as their parents' anxiety. Half of the 70 children will play, while the other half will follow usual routines. Researchers will measure fear and anxiety levels before and after play to see if it makes a difference.
