Methods: The quasi-experimental study was conducted from February 1 to May 31, 2016, in Zonguldak, Turkey, and comprised primary school students. Descriptive Information Form and Medical Operations Fear Scale were used to collect data. Those found to be 'very afraid' subsequently underwent a puppet show. The Scale was applied post-intervention o track changes. SPSS 18 was used for data analysis. Results: There were 617 children with a mean age of 8.86±0.96 years and studying in second third and fourth grades. Of them, 316(51.2%) were boys. The mean score on the fear scale was 43.9±1.03 (range: 29-87); 58(9.4%) were terrified of medical procedures. There was a significant difference between the scores of children with respect to the year of education (p=0.001), age (p=0.0001), previous hospitalisations (p=0.0001), previous fears related to hospitalisations (p=0.0021) and fear of being sick (p=0.0001). Two sessions of puppet shows were performed for 44(76%) of the terrified students. There was a significant difference between baseline and post-intervention scores (p=0.0001). Conclusion: Age, previous negative experiences of hospitalisations and the fear of being sick were factors that shaped children's medical fears. Puppet show effectively decreased such fears. © 2019, Pakistan Medical Association. All rights reserved.

    (Eurasian Society of Family Medicine, 2020) Kolukisa, T.; Sahin, O.O.
    Aim: This study was carried out to determine the health beliefs of mothers with children hospitalized at a university hospital regarding medicine use and their knowledge and practices towards rational use of medicines in the children. Methods: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study was conducted between 15 July and 15 October 2018 at the Karabük University Research and Training Hospital with 260 mothers. A Participant Information Form and the Drug Use Health Beliefs Scale were used as the data collection tools. Results: It was determined that only 10.8% (n=28) of the mothers had knowledge about rational use of medicines. The mothers’ Drug Use Health Beliefs Scale total mean score was 150.91 ± 15.13. 93.5% (n=243) of the mothers used antipyretics, whereas only 17.7% (n=43) of them used antipyretics recommended by a doctor. The mothers who read the package inserts of medicine had a significantly higher mean scale score than those who did not. Conclusion: The mothers had insufficient knowledge on rational use of medicines, but their health beliefs related to prescription medicine use were high. However, the mothers used antipyretic, analgesic, antibiotic and cough medicines in their children without consulting a doctor, whereas the majority of them used particularly antipyretics without a doctor’s recommendation. © 2020, Eurasian Society of Family Medicine.
