INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the anxiety of parents on the anxiety level of their 9- to12-year-old children staying in hospital. METHODS: The research was a descriptive study comprising 162 parents and 162 children between 9 and 12 years of age who were admitted to the ear-nose-throat and pediatric surgery services of a training and research hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The Child and Parent Diagnostic Form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were used as data collection tools. The data collection lasted about 15–20 minutes. RESULTS: A statistically significant correlation of 70.9% was found between the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children and the Beck Anxiety Inventory for parents (r= 0.709; p=.001). Regression analysis revealed that the Beck Anxiety Inventory score for parents had a significant effect on the model. The Beck Anxiety Inventory score affected the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory score of 39.2% for children (R2=0.392). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Anxiety of parents participating in the study directly affected the level of anxiety of their children. To improve this situation, pediatric nurses should identify the factors that may cause anxiety in parents and children and minimize the factors that may cause any anxiety

Anxiety Levels

PURPOSE: Patients preparing to undergo surgery should not suffer needless anxiety. This study aimed to evaluate anxiety levels on the day before surgery as related to the information known by the patient regarding the diagnosis, surgical procedure, or anesthesia. METHOD: Patients reported their knowledge of diagnosis, surgery, and anesthesia. The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to measure patient anxiety levels. RESULTS: One hundred and forty-nine patients were selected, and 82 females and 38 males were interviewed. Twenty-nine patients were excluded due to illiteracy. The state-anxiety levels were alike for males and females (36.10 ± 11.94 vs. 37.61 ± 8.76) (mean ± SD). Trait-anxiety levels were higher for women (42.55 ± 10.39 vs. 38.08 ± 12.25, P = 0.041). Patient education level did not influence the state-anxiety level but was inversely related to the trait-anxiety level. Knowledge of the diagnosis was clear for 91.7% of patients, of the surgery for 75.0%, and of anesthesia for 37.5%. Unfamiliarity with the surgical procedure raised state-anxiety levels (P = 0.021). A lower state-anxiety level was found among patients who did not know the diagnosis but knew about the surgery (P = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS: Increased knowledge of patients regarding the surgery they are about to undergo may reduce their state-anxiety levels.

Abstract Background Preoperative anxiety is a prevalent phenomenon in the pediatric population. The impact of anxiety can be seen in the children and accompanying family and have significant consequences during anesthesia, the perioperative and postoperative period. Previous studies examining risk factors of anxiety were contradictory and a few studied children aged under 5. Objectives The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between parental anxiety and child anxiety in patients undergoing elective surgery in a tertiary pediatric center. The secondary objectives were to identify the cohort characteristics and the risk factors associated with higher anxiety. Design/Methods In this prospective cohort study, 166 children aged from 2 to 12 years old, who had a surgery between March and June 2019, were analyzed. Children’s anxiety at induction was assessed by the anesthesiologist with the Modified Yale Preoperative Scale Short form (mYPAS-SF). Anxiety level of children over 8 years old was self-assessed by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Child form (STAIC) during the preoperative evaluation. Parents’ anxiety was measured with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory form (STAI). Data recorded included personal, familial and sociodemographic details, past healthcare history and prior separations. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression were performed to identify possible risk factors of children’s anxiety and association between child and parent anxiety. Results The prevalence of significant anxiety at induction was 39.8%. No significant association was observed between the level of anxiety of parents compared to their children except in the group of children aged over 8. In this population, statistically significant correlation was observed between the STAIC and the STAI score, with a Pearson coefficient of 0.4. Children aged 2 to 5 years old and parents aged 15 to 35 years old, being an only child and no anterior history of separation were all associated with higher anxiety at induction. In the adjusted analysis, being five years or older was a protective factor (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.12;0.45, p<0.001). Conclusion Parent anxiety does not seem to be a good indicator of children’s anxiety even if an association was observed in the group of 8 to 12 years old. Children under 5 are more at risk of preoperative anxiety and could benefit from new technologies and preparative strategies to lower their anxiety level. Anxiety at induction remains difficult to predict and more studies on the subject need to be carried out.

The author performed a comparative analysis on the research output of 6 popular clinical measures of anxiety. The results of a citation analysis of the database from PsycINFO for the years 1991–1998 indicated that the Beck Anxiety Inventory presently ranks third, behind the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Fear Survey Schedule, in terms of use in research.
