About this study

Official title: Effect of Child Preference for Parental Selection During Induction in Children Undergoing Elective Day Case Surgery

Induction of anesthesia can be distressing both for children and their parents. Nonpharmacological behavioral interventions can reduce the anxiety of children without significant adverse effects as seen with sedative drugs. has not been documented.

The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of children's preference on parental selection during the induction of anesthesia on children and parental anxiety during the perioperative period.

Read the detailed description

Anesthetic induction can be one of the most stressful experiences for the child during the perioperative period, with almost 50% of the children showing significant anxiety. . To minimize the effect of anxiety, several methods have been adopted, such as the introduction of day-case surgery, parental presence at the induction of anesthesia, distractions and the use of pharmacological agents like midazolam to reduce anxiety.

Although the effect of parental presence on the anxiety of children and parents was studied in various studies. Whether the children's choice of parental selection affects anxiety is not studied yet. In this study, we will evaluate the anxiety of children by using mYPAS .

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) of the children undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia.

    The mYPAS will be used to evaluate the anxiety level of children. The mYPAS is an observational measure of preoperative anxiety consisting of 27 items in 5 domains (activity, emotional expressivity, state of arousal, vocalization, and use of parents). The adjusted mYPAS total score ranges from 22.9 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety.

    Measured: Perioperative period
