Perioperative Anxiety in Children

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of preoperative patient education given by three different methods on the level of perioperative anxiety in children aged 4-7 years. The research was carried out between 1 June - 31 November 2021 at Tekirdag Namık Kemal University Health Practice and Research Center, Department of Pediatric Surgery. A total of 66 patients, 22 patients in each group, who met the inclusion criteria and were included in the stratified randomization method, were included in the planned quasi-experimental study. Research data were obtained by using the "Patient Diagnosis Form" and the "Anxiety Scale in Preschool Children" administered before and after the surgery.

Clinical Trial Description

Pre-operative patient education was given to the children in the first experimental group by the service nurse. The children in the second experimental group were given pre-operative patient education by the service nurse, in addition, patient visits were provided by the operating room nurse and the operating room environment was explained through play. The children in the third experimental group were given pre-operative patient education by the service nurse, after which they listened to the mother's voice recording and loving words until they went to the operating room. It was determined that 69.7% of the mothers of the children participating in the study were 30 years and older, 81.8% were married, 37.9% were undergraduate graduates, and 51.5% were unemployed. The general anxiety disorder levels of those who had no previous surgery experience were found significantly higher than those who had previous surgery experience (p<0.05). In terms of affecting the anxiety level, there was a significant difference between the preoperative methods (p<0.05). It was determined that the education given by both the service nurse and the operating room nurse together was more effective than other methods in reducing the anxiety levels of children, and there was a statistically significant difference between them.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
