Summary
This study looks at whether listening to music while getting up for the first time after abdominal surgery can lower pain and fear in children ages 4 to 6. Half the children will hear their chosen music during movement, while the other half gets standard care. Researchers will measure pain and fear using simple picture scales and check heart and breathing rates.
