“…Distraction as a preoperative anxiety management technique has positive effects on paediatric patients undergoing elective surgery (Wu et al, 2022). This finding is in line with the results of previous research, including that of Aydın and Uyar (2021) and of Yang et al (2022), who showed that reading an animated picture book ( Tom in the Hospital ) at home 1 week before surgery reduced the level of preoperative anxiety in preschool children. Macindo et al (2015) determined that a 3D storybook alleviated preoperative anxiety, while Sekhavatpour et al (2019) found that reading animated picture books was effective in reducing postoperative anxiety in children.…”

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of reading a preoperative preparation‐themed storybook on children's preoperative fear and anxiety levels. Methods The research design was a randomized controlled experiment. The research sample included 80 children (40 in the story group and 40 in the control group) who met the inclusion criteria. Data collection tools were collected through face‐to‐face interviews with the ‘Survey Form’, ‘Child Fear Scale (CFS)’ and ‘Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS)’. In the research, the book named Elif Has Surgery was used as an intervention tool. In the story group, the preoperative preparation‐themed storybook was read to the child in their room at the clinic by their mother within 10 min. The control group received only clinical routine. The study was approved by the ethics committee. Results There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in the mean scores of the CFS and mYPAS scales in the control and story groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions This study found that reading a preoperative preparation‐themed storybook reduced children's fear and anxiety before surgery. It may be recommended to expand the use of preoperative preparation‐themed storybooks in order to prevent fear and anxiety experienced before surgery in paediatric surgery clinics. Story reading is an effective, cheap, non‐pharmacological intervention. The clinical trial registration number is NCT05478369.

“…We did not find any significant difference in mYPAS scores in the comparison of parental anxiety. Similar to our results, Bumin and Uyar (21) showed that maternal anxiety levels did not have a significant association with children's anxiety. In contrast to our results, Cui et al (9) a found positive correlation between mYPAS of the children and STAI-S score of parents in the younger aged group, but no significant difference in STAI-T scores of groups.…”

Aim: Sedation is a fundamental component of the pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy (GIE). The dosing of drugs to be used for sedating the child is an important aspect of the efficacy and safety of procedural sedation. Besides, outpatient procedures are stressful situations for pediatric patients and also their families, and therefore, parental anxiety may affect children indirectly. The first aim of the study was to assess the association between parental anxiety and required sedative dose in children undergoing GIE. The second aim was to assess the factors associated with children’s preoperative anxiety. Material and Method: This study was a prospective, observational, and single-center study performed by the same fellowship-trained pediatric gastroenterology specialist and the same anesthesiology specialist. Parental anxiety was evaluated with the State-Trait-Anxiety-Scale (STAI) and children's anxiety was evaluated with the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS). Midazolam, ketamine, propofol, and fentanyl were administered for the children’s sedation. There were 2 comparisons in this study, the anxiety of parents according to mean STAI scores, and anxiety of children according to mYPAS scores. Results: Of 120 children and parents, 87 parents (73%) and 57 children (48%) had high anxiety. Of 120 parents, 111 parents (92%) were mothers of the children. Younger children had higher anxiety levels. Before and the start of the GIE heart rates of children were higher both in the high anxiety group of parents and children. In sedatives, high anxiety parents’ children and high anxiety children were required more ketamine dosages. (p

“…Studies have shown the effectiveness of educational booklets/leaflets objectively and subjectively, reducing maternal anxiety measured by STAI and in focus group discussions [13,22]. Conversely, other studies have not observed similar effects [23,24]. More studies on preoperative education, and the most acceptable and effective components of an educational intervention, are needed to better elucidate its role in reducing preoperative parental anxiety.…”

Interventions for Parental Anxiety in Preparation for Pediatric Surgery: A Narrative Review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The preoperative experience can cause significant anxiety for both pediatric patients and their parents in the lead up to a surgical procedure. Pediatric anxiety in a preoperative setting has been shown to have significant negative downstream effects on the clinical outcomes of children and the healthcare system as a whole. Studies have found that preoperative parental anxiety has significant negative effects on children, regarding anxiety and emotional response. Therefore, interventions for parental preoperative anxiety are important to reduce the child’s anxiety. This review provides a brief overview of a broad range of strategies used to alleviate parental anxiety in a preoperative setting. Preoperative education, play-based interventions, music therapy, the presence of parents at induction of anesthesia, and integrative preoperative preparation programs have all demonstrated some evidence for reducing parental preoperative anxiety. The ultimate goal of using interventions for parental preoperative anxiety is to equip healthcare systems to better support families and optimize the perioperative outcomes of children.
