Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of illustrated children’s book in providing information about tonsillectomy to improve post tonsillectomy pain control and compliance to treatment for preschoolers.
Methods: The design of the study was a quasi-experimental, post-test only design. Subjects were preschoolers aged between 3 and 7 years old who were admitted to a hospital for tonsillectomy. A group of 25 children were assigned to an experimental group, and another 25 were assigned to a control group. The data were analysed using SPSS 12.0 program. The homogeneity between two groups was examined using x2- test. The hypotheses testing was conducted using t-test.
Results: The experimental group had lower pain score than control group at 8 hour after tonsillectomy (p<.05). Pain score was also lower in the experimental group after 24 hour after the surgery (p<.05). The experimental group had higher pain questionnaire score than control group at 8 hours after surgery, however the difference was not significant. The experimental group showed better compliance to treatment than the control group (p<.05).
Conclusion: Providing illustrated children’s book for the purpose of providing information about tonsillectomy was effective intervention for the control of post tonsillectomy pain and improvement of compliance to treatment for reschoolers. Illustrated children’s book could be applied as a nursing intervention to relieve post tonsillectomy pain and improve compliance to treatment for preschoolers.
