- The child in the music therapy group will receive a standard antiemetic treatment procedure 15 minutes before the cisplatin infusion. Music therapy will be applied with the start of cisplatin infusion. The song "The Happiest Child", developed by creating rhythms and developed by Fulya Merve KOS, a researcher with a RhythmotherapistTM certificate issued by the Ministry of National Education, will be used in music therapy. The sound will be adjusted to 45 db. The speaker will be placed at the end of the foot, approximately 30 cm from the child's ear, five minutes before the procedure and will be played to the child during the procedure. After the infusion, music therapy will be terminated and the level of nausea, irritability and anxiety will be evaluated with data collection forms.
