He stated that children and their families who frequently visit hospitals for follow-up, treatment or various anomalies have negative hospital experiences due to fear, anxiety and painful procedures, and that these negative experiences may cause phobias and avoidance of medical procedures in children in the future. Therefore, this study was planned to determine the effect of storigami method on reducing pain, fear and anxiety of children in peripheral intravenous catheter applications in children aged 6-9 years who were hospitalized in the pediatric health and diseases clinic.
