Overview

Mixed-methods study finds surgical environment and preparation affect anxiety levels in children aged 8–12 years.

Key Points

  • Children's anxiety levels were impacted by age and surgery type, with younger children showing higher anxiety scores, indicating a need for tailored support.
  • The mean anxiety score was significantly higher for those undergoing genitourinary system surgery compared to other procedures, shedding light on specific surgical anxieties.
  • In-depth interviews revealed key themes about hospital perceptions, showing how the environment contributes to children's emotional states during surgery.
  • Being informed before surgery generally resulted in lower anxiety scores, emphasizing the importance of preoperative communication with young patients.
