About this trial

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether video-assisted emotional preparation helps reduce emotional distress in children with leukemia undergoing subcutaneous procedures. The study will also examine whether this intervention affects procedure duration and crying time during the procedure.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does video-assisted emotional preparation improve children's emotional expression during subcutaneous procedures? * Does the intervention reduce the duration of the procedure? * Does the intervention shorten crying time during the procedure?

Researchers will compare video-assisted structured emotional preparation with structured emotional preparation alone and routine care to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:

* video-assisted structured emotional preparation, * structured emotional preparation only, * or routine care
