Distraction techniques, such as use of a virtual reality device, have been used to augment or replace pharmacological practices for relief of anxiety in pediatric patients prior to surgical procedures. This relief can not only benefit medical staff, as procedures may be easier to perform and require less time, but also have a calming effect on the the parent during the procedure if they feel that their child is being better cared for. In addition, decreased anxiety prior to surgical procedures have been shown to reduce maladaptive behaviors post-operatively. This prospective study plans to evaluate the anxiety level of parents and pediatric patients in an outpatient surgery center pre-, during and post-operatively with and without the use of a virtual reality distraction device. The goal is to determine the existence of correlations between distraction techniques (in this case, the use of handheld video games) pediatric patient anxiety, parental anxiety, and parental satisfaction with the experience surrounding the procedure.

Primary | Change in pediatric anxiety score | The modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale16 (mYPAS): evaluated changes in pediatric anxiety with higher anxiety=higher score. mYPAS completed by nurses during initial preoperative evaluation, upon patient separation from parent and at mask induction. All three surveys were identical.
A. Activity scored 1-4; B. Vocalizations scored 1-6; C. Emotional expressivity scored 1-4; D. State of apparent arousal scored 1-4 |
at three timepoints in the peri-operative suite prior to induction for surgery | |
Primary | Change in parent anxiety score | The Strait-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)17 assessed self-reported parental anxiety (below). The STAI was completed by the parent immediately after separation in the waiting room. STAI consists of two parts: A= perceived anxiety during the child's perioperative period; B= the parent's general state of anxiety. Differences between these two metrics were used to indicate parental satisfaction with their experience.
The A questions were evaluated with the following scale (1-4) utilizing the descriptors 'Not at all' 'Somewhat' 'Moderately So' 'Very Much So' in response to 7 statements. The B section regarding generalized anxiety was measured as follows (1-4) utilizing the descriptors 'Not at all' 'Somewhat' 'Moderately So' 'Very Much So' in response to 7 statements different from the A section. The final question is as follows (Y/N): 8. The experience of separation from my child for this procedure was better than expected. Y N |
Immediately following separation from the child; change in anxiety from baseline | |
Primary | Overall Parental Satisfaction with the pre-operative process, particularly regarding parent/child separation | To evaluate overall satisfaction of parents with the pre-operative process specifically, a final question was added to the STAI which inquired if the parent/guardian thought that the experience of separation was better or worse than was expected. This question was scored independently. | Immediately following separation from the child | |
Primary | Change in post-operative behavior as assessed by the parent | The PHBQ queried change in perceived patient's behavior before and after the procedure with an inquiry regarding new-onset negative behaviors manifesting post-surgery. Three attempts were made to gather survey information for each time-point; if a parent could not be reached, data collection for that patient was truncated. Each of the three follow-up calls were completed utilizing the same protocol. The protocol consisted of 10 questions regarding the child's behavior with parent answers utilizing the following scale:
much less less same more much more The final question was a rank from 1-10 with 10 being the worst (highest) score: 11. On a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being no pain and 10 being more pain, how would you rate your child's current pain level? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
24-48 hours, 7 days and 14 days post procedure |
