Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Hospitalized children will regress with the skills that they had previously mastered. Within a safe environment, the sick child needs expert physical care, emotional support, expression of feelings (through play) and continuation of school education, to promote continued growth, both in acute and chronic illness. This concept helps to minimize the emotional trauma to the children and their parents for better adjustment during hospital stay.

OBJECTIVES: 1. To find the pre test and post-test level of hospitalized anxiety among children of experimental group and the control group. 2. To determine the effectiveness of Origami on hospitalized anxiety among children of experimental group with control group. 3. To find the association between hospitalized anxiety among children with the selected demographic variables HYPO.THESES: H1- There is a significant difference on the level of hospitalised anxiety among children before and after intervention. H2- There is a significant association between the level of hospitalized anxiety among children with selected demographic variables. METHODOLOGY: The study was quasi-experimental study with an evaluative approach. The study was conducted in Pediatric wards of Sree Mookambika Institute of Medical Sciences Kulasekharam. Data collection period was one month. Population was hospitalized school age children. Samples were children admitted in Pediatric ward aged between 6-12 years. Purposive sampling technique was used.

It showed that before implementing therapy, the experimental group had increased level of hospitalised anxiety than the control group. The t value was 6.61, df=38, table value= 2.02 and p<0.05, so it is highly significant. There is no statistically significant association between pre-test level of hospitalized anxiety with the selected demographic variables of experimental and control group except for age and care taker of the child during hospitalization. CONCLUSION: The conclusion drawn from the findings of the study are, The study result showed that, during pre-test there was 12 (60%) children in experimental group and 15 (75%) children in control group had mild level of anxiety and 8 (40%) children in the experimental group and 5(25%) children in the control group had moderate level of anxiety and there was no children who had severe level of anxiety. During post-test, 18 (90%) of the children in experimental group and 17(85%) children in control group had mild level of anxiety, 2(10%) children in the experimental group and 3(15%) children in the control group had moderate level of anxiety and there was no children who had severe level of anxiety. So the posttest reveals that 90% of children in the experimental group had reduction in the anxiety level and 15% children in the control group had reduction in the anxiety level.
