A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational animation in reducing anxiety and fear in children aged 6-10 years who are scheduled for tympanostomy tube placement. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a training video group, where they will watch an educational video explaining the surgery process, or a control group receiving standard care information. The study will assess the impact of the educational intervention on the children's preoperative anxiety levels, which can significantly affect their recovery and overall experience. Data will be collected through questionnaires designed to measure anxiety and fear levels before and after the intervention.
