| Abstrakt: | Playing with a child is one of the easiest and most effective ways to establish communication. However, illness or injury can lead to negative emotions and stress in a child, making it challenging for them to adapt to treatment during pre-hospital care. The use of therapeutic communication and play in pre-hospital settings facilitates the identification of the patient's current conditions, the assessment of identified situations, and the implementation of pre-hospital care approaches based on these evaluations. The paramedic program included 40 students in the first grade and 40 students in the second grade. The second-grade students received 16 hours of theoretical and 16 hours of practical therapeutic play training from a play therapist. The second-grade students who participated in the training applied therapeutic play techniques in communication with children. Then, The Medical Procedure Fear Scale was administered to all students during their internships in emergency services or ambulance settings with children aged 4-9. The data obtained in the research were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 statistical software. Paramedic students who received therapeutic play training and used therapeutic play in communication with children had lower fear scale scores compared to those who did not receive therapeutic play training and did not use therapeutic play in communication with children. The study concluded that gender and the applied field of the scale did not affect the scale scores, while age was identified as an influential factor. The entire healthcare team, especially paramedics working in emergency health services, should have sufficient knowledge, skills, and experience about children's developmental periods, therapeutic play, and its types.
