“…Higher scores corresponded to higher worries about the surgery. In the original version, the questionnaire showed good reliability and construct validity (Quiles, et al, 2000). The present study showed good internal consistency: global score (Cronbach's alpha=0.92), hospitalization (α=0.85), medical procedures (α=0.82), and illness and its negative consequences (α=0.84).…”

“…The Child Surgery Worries Questionnaire (CSWQ; Quiles et al, 2000) was used to assess children's worries about surgery. This self-report measure (23 items), allows the assessment of three type of worries: (1) hospitalization (eleven items: e.g., I'm worried about the way the hospital staff will treat me); (2) medical procedures (six items; e.g., I'm worried about how they will anesthetize me); and (3) illness and its negative consequences (six items: e.g., I'm worried about not being able to bear the pain of the illness).…”

“…For instance, higher reports of anxiety in younger children but no age differences in worries, suggesting that higher anxiety in these age groups may not be due to greater worries but to other anxiety components, such as affective, behavioral or physiological. The need to identify specific worries about surgery was emphasized by Quiles, Ortigosa, Méndez, and Pedroche (2000). The authors developed a questionnaire allowing the measurement of worries about hospitalization, medical procedures, illness, and its negative consequences.…”

This study investigated whether clown intervention could reduce preoperative worries and the affective responses of children undergoing minor surgery. Parental anxiety was also tested.Child's age, previous hospitalization, and temperament were tested as predictors of the child's responses during this preoperative phase. Seventy children were assigned to one of two groups: children accompanied by their parents and a pair of clowns or, those accompanied by the parents but without the clowns. The results emphasized the relevance of clown intervention on the reduction of preoperative worries and emotional responses, not only in children but also in their parents.

Background and objectives Tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly used pediatric surgeries with high stress levels for children and their parents. The present study was designed and implemented regarding the fact that limited studies have ever been carried out about the effects of complementary therapies such as acupressure on the preoperative anxiety levels in children throughout the world. Materials and methods Present study was a randomized clinical trial that was done in three groups with 144 children aged 5–12 years undergoing tonsillectomy. In present study, the children were allocated in three groups: intervention, control and sham. In the intervention group, the acupressure was applied on the Yintang point and in the sham group, was applied at a sham acupoint. No intervention was performed in the control group. Before and after intervention, the pediatric anxiety levels were measured using instruments. The results were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as the Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon tests, chi-square (χ2) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. The significance level was considered p < 0.05. Results The total anxiety score in children was (70.39 ± 20.93) in the control group, (67.83 ± 16.78) in the intervention group and (71.40 ± 21.82) in the sham group, not significant difference (p > 0.05). The different in the overall anxiety score among children before intervention compare to after intervention was as following: Control group (–3 ± 17.46), intervention group (8.42 ± 32.98) and sham group (–4.32 ± 24.47). Conclusion Like other surgical procedures, the tonsillectomy has serious stress for children. Our study demonstrates that the acupressure has a significant effect on the level of preoperative anxiety in children undergoing surgery. Therefore, nurses can use this technique to reduce the pediatric anxiety.
