“…Further, according to Litke et al 6 and Unruh et al, 7 anxiety in the preoperative phase is one of the greatest issues for children, and this is aggravated by inadequate surgical information. Anxiety precipitates greater perioperative complications and may negatively affect the child's life 8 .…”

“…Lim et al 18 stated that surgical knowledge includes the diagnosis, intervention, and preoperative and postoperative care that are explained in a manner understandable by the patient. Because of the failure of most health professionals in assessing and identifying this patient need, greater anxiety, patient dissatisfaction, and perioperative complications arise 6,7,18 …”

Inadequate surgical knowledge potentiates anxiety; however, no methodology simultaneously addresses anxiety and surgical knowledge. Our quasi-experimental study determined the effectiveness of a three-dimensional (3-D) storybook in increasing surgical knowledge and decreasing anxiety among young children scheduled for planned or required major surgeries. We studied 20 randomly assigned participants who received either the 3-D storybook or traditional health teaching. A presurgical knowledge questionnaire and modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale assessed surgical knowledge and anxiety. Data were analyzed with one-way and repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance. Results showed that both groups had higher knowledge scores (F = 8.94; P = .008) and lower anxiety scores (F = 5.13; P = .036) after the intervention. The children who received information from the 3-D storybook exhibited a significantly higher posttest knowledge score (F = 11.71; P = .003) and lower anxiety score (F = 10.05; P = .005) than the traditionally educated group of children. The 3-D storybook effectively increased surgical knowledge and decreased anxiety and could be used as an alternative method to prepare pediatric surgical patients.

“…Research shows that patients feel it is important for them to know their physician' s level of training and role, but the majority of patients do not actually know this information. 11,12 There have been a number of attempts to improve this problem. Unaka et al used a face sheet with team members' pictures and role description and found that this intervention significantly increased the caregivers' understanding of each person' s responsibility (from 25% to 50%), although this suggests 50% of caregivers still lacked understanding.…”

“…Learning about this information postoperatively may harm the patient-physician relationship [8,9]. Lack of appropriate understanding of resident training process by patients may create misconceptions about resident physicians and, ultimately, decrease trust in the healthcare system [8,10]. Preoperative psychological studies have shown that patients who have a stronger sense of control in regards to their surgical care also experience accelerated recovery [8].…”

“…A patient's understanding of their physician's level of education and role in their healthcare has been found to be important to the majority of patients. At the same time, there are reports suggesting that only 65% of surgical patients are aware if their surgeon is a trainee or not [10,11]. There are other reports that inform that the majority of patients believed residents to be medical students [11].…”

Introduction Surgical residents play vital roles in day-today patient care as well as in the operating room. However, there is a paucity of literature regarding patients' perspectives on neurosurgical residents and their participation in their care. This current study investigates the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of patients regarding neurosurgical residents and their involvement in their healthcare process. Methods Patients older than 18 years who had undergone brain or spine surgery were requested to complete a survey questionnaire. The 7-point Likert scale response ranging from "strongly agree", "agree", "more or less agree", "undecided", more or less disagree", "disagree" to "strongly disagree" was used. The primary objective was to assess patient understanding and attitudes towards resident participation in surgical and medical care within the specialty of neurosurgery. The duration of the study was eight months. Patients having prior exposure to an informed-consent procedure by a neurosurgery team within a year prior to this study were excluded. Data were analyzed using Student's t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and standard averaging of responses.
