“…Parents’ knowledge of general anesthesia information showed only a modest increase between the time of first discussion in the presurgical assessment clinic and the day of their child's surgery. This is congruent with the findings of a previous study that showed a 9.7% increase in parents’ knowledge following the viewing of an anesthetic video and tested immediately after the information had been imparted (8). Some studies have suggested that the reading level of patient information leaflets is too high, that leaflets may not be read, or the written form is not the optimal format (9,12).…”

“…The lack of correlation between parent knowledge and need for information is consistent with previous research (3,8) and parents appear to desire more information than adult patients (13). There were no differences in the level of knowledge between those parents whose child had experienced a previous anesthetic and those who had not, in contrast to a previous study (11).…”

“…Parents want detailed information about the specifics of anesthetic procedures, risks, and personnel roles (3–7). Five intervention studies have tested different methods of providing children's anesthesia information to parents, including verbal, video or written modalities and showed some improvements in knowledge, anxiety and satisfaction (3,8–11). Parents in the UK reported greater satisfaction after receipt of a leaflet about pediatric anesthesia and those that received written information felt that verbal information alone was insufficient (9).…”

“…In one study, preoperative preparation was found to be most useful when given 5–7 days prior to surgery6 and in another, preoperative anesthetic information for children administered via leaflet or video was shown to decrease parental anxiety4, 7, 8 and increase satisfaction7 and knowledge 8. In our setting, the majority of parents and some children are given information on the day of surgery, while a smaller percentage are seen by a nurse or physician several days to 2 weeks prior to surgery.…”

Objectives-Unlike information provided for research, information disclosed to patients for treatment or procedures is largely unregulated and, as such, there is likely considerable variability in the type and amount of disclosure. This study was designed to examine the nature of information provided to parents regarding options for postoperative pain control and their understanding thereof.Methods-187 parents of children scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure requiring inpatient postoperative pain control completed questionnaires that elicited information regarding their perceptions and understanding of, and satisfaction with, information regarding postoperative pain management.Results-Results showed that there was considerable variability in the content and amount of information provided to parents based on the method of postoperative pain control provided. Parents whose child received Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) were given significantly (P< 0.025) more information on the risks and benefits compared to those receiving Nurse Controlled or intravenous-prn (NCA or IV) analgesia. Approximately one third of parents had no understanding of the risks associated with postoperative pain management. Parents who received pain information preoperatively and who were given information regarding the risks and benefits had improved understanding compared to parents who received no or minimal information (P< 0.001). Furthermore, information that was deemed unclear or insufficient resulted in decreased parental understanding.Discussion-These results demonstrate the variability in the type and amount of information provided to parents regarding their child's postoperative pain control and reinforce the importance of clear and full disclosure of pain information, particularly with respect to the risks and benefits.

“…Mothers are more anxious than fathers in general and anxiety level of mother is higher if the child undergoing surgical procedure is under one year old and the procedure is the first in life. Increase in anxiety level of parents during surgical procedure is also found to be correlated with anxiety level of child (7). DS is different from major surgical procedures due to short duration of children being apart from their famiUes after surgery, lower exposure to unpleasant factors such as injection and returning back to daily activities in a shorter time (8,9).…”

Quality of life and anxiety ieveis in children after day surgeryObjective: Day surgery distinguishes from major surgery with the low risk of complications and short healing time after the intervention. Children's and their mothers' anxiety levels increase and children's quality of life diminishes after major surgeries. In fhis sfudy, we aimed to evaluate the anxiety levels of the children and their mothers', and the children's quality of life before and one month after the day surgery. Method: In our study, 32 children (6 girls, 26 boys) aged 7-12 years who were hospitalized for day surgery in Children Surgery Clinic of Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital constituted the sample group. Before the day surgery, Childhood Behavior Checklist; before and one month after the day surgery. State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), State and Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAi-C), and Pédiatrie Quality of Life inventory (PedsQL)-parent report were completed. Results: There was not any significant difference between the scores of STAI, STAI-C, PedsQL total scale and PedsQL physical health summary before the day surgery and one month after the day surgery. The psychosocial health summary score (PSS) before the day surgery was found to be higher than the PSS one month after the day surgery. STAI total score predicted PSS score. Conclusion: It was revealed that after day surgery, children's psychosocial quality of life deteriorates and it was affected by maternal anxiety level. Therefore, mothers should be informed about the consequences of surgical operation and precautions should be taken to protect the academic skills, peer relationships, and family functioning of children.
