“…In this study, we investigated an approach that integrated several previous relatively independent approaches to provide children with an active participatory [23][24][25][26], multimedia-based home-initiated educational intervention prior to admission. Since this experiment incorporates parents and includes three aspects of children's audio-visual stimulation, active painting, and reading, it is more effective than other experiments.…”

Background Anesthesiologists need to appreciate the impact of preoperative anxiety in children. The present study aimed to explore whether interactive multimedia-based home-initiated interventions could effectively relieve preoperative anxiety in pediatric patients. Methods In this prospective study, we compared preoperative anxiety between two groups of children aged 4–9 years. Children in the control group received a question-and-answer (Q&A) introduction, and children in the intervention group received multimedia-based home-initiated preoperative education using comic booklets, videos, and coloring game books. Differences in anxiety between the two groups were evaluated by the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale-Short Form (mYPAS-SF) at four time points: in the ophthalmology outpatient clinic before intervention as the baseline (T0); in the preoperative waiting area (T1); at the time of separating from their parents and moving to the operating room (T2); and at the time of anesthesia induction (T3). Parental anxiety was assessed by the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at T0 and T2. Other related information was collected by questionnaire. Results Eighty-four children who underwent pediatric strabismus in our center between November 2020 and July 2021 were included in this study. An intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis was performed on data from 78 enrolled children. Children in the intervention group exhibited lower m-YPAS-SF scores at T1, T2, and T3 than those in the control group (all p < 0.001). By using a mixed-effect model with repeated measurement (MMRM) after adjusting the m-YPAS score at T0 as a covariate, the interventional effect in terms of themYPAS-SF score was also significant over time (p < 0.001). The percentage of children with perfect induction compliance (ICC = 0) in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group [18.4% vs. 7.5%], and poor induction compliance (ICC>4) was lower (2.6% vs. 17.5%, p = 0.048). The mean parental VAS score at T2 in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p = 0.021). Conclusions Interactive multimedia-based home-initiated intervention could reduce preoperative anxiety in children and improve the quality of anesthesia induction based on ICC scores, which may in turn impose a positive impact on parental anxiety.

“…Studies have shown that non‐pharmacological methods (comics, audio‐visual resources, video games, etc.) in the preoperative period are helpful in reducing children's fear, pain and anxiety (Aytekin et al, 2016; Chow et al, 2016; Forouzandeh et al, 2020; Mohamed & Elattar, 2019; Taha & El‐Sayed, 2021). Reading stories, which is one of these methods, is helpful in reducing children's fear and anxiety (Aydın & Uyar, 2021; Bülbül & Arıkan, 2018; Cordray et al, 2022; Durgut, 2021).…”

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of reading a preoperative preparation‐themed storybook on children's preoperative fear and anxiety levels. Methods The research design was a randomized controlled experiment. The research sample included 80 children (40 in the story group and 40 in the control group) who met the inclusion criteria. Data collection tools were collected through face‐to‐face interviews with the ‘Survey Form’, ‘Child Fear Scale (CFS)’ and ‘Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS)’. In the research, the book named Elif Has Surgery was used as an intervention tool. In the story group, the preoperative preparation‐themed storybook was read to the child in their room at the clinic by their mother within 10 min. The control group received only clinical routine. The study was approved by the ethics committee. Results There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in the mean scores of the CFS and mYPAS scales in the control and story groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions This study found that reading a preoperative preparation‐themed storybook reduced children's fear and anxiety before surgery. It may be recommended to expand the use of preoperative preparation‐themed storybooks in order to prevent fear and anxiety experienced before surgery in paediatric surgery clinics. Story reading is an effective, cheap, non‐pharmacological intervention. The clinical trial registration number is NCT05478369.
