“…It is one of the unsatisfactory aspects that they reported and hope will improve in terms of admission equality into wards. This is consistent with studies which show that by planning programmes for parents in preoperative training (Chan & Molassiotis, 2002) or handing out written or audio-visual information parents can use at home, parental knowledge and satisfaction increases (Bellew et al, 2002;Franck & Spencer, 2005;Koinig, 2002).…”

“…An editorial by Koinig deplored the expense of hospital‐based preparation programs. The solution, he wrote, would be adapting ‘alternative methods’ such as ‘written information leaflets’ , despite the 1997 article that rated written information as the least effective form of preoperative preparation . A recent preparation program indicated the success of a strategy that included support by a psychologist throughout the surgical episode .…”

Summary Millions of children undergo outpatient surgery in the United States each year; the overwhelming majority will experience significant perioperative anxiety and pain. Behavioral preparation programs focused on skills acquisition and modeling, considered essential for effective preparation, are no longer offered to most children and families in the outpatient surgery setting. Moreover, what little preparation does occur is typically generic in nature, rather than tailored to unique characteristics of the child and family. Untreated anxiety and pain have significant implications for children’s short- and long-term recovery and future interactions in the medical environment. The rapid growth of the World Wide Web and increasing access to Internet by families across the country provides an opportunity to develop tailored, Web-based behavioral preparation programs that can be accessed repeatedly at times convenient to the child and family, that include coping skills training and modeling, and that can provide unique output based upon child and parent characteristics known to impact perioperative pain and anxiety. In this review article we present a conceptual framework for a computer-based intervention that may transform the way we manage children and parents before and after surgery.

“…Principles that remain constant and are supported by the literature are the value of therapeutic communication and rapport; 12,37,72,73 importance of age‐appropriate interventions tailored to the patient's developmental level; 33–35,58–60,63 and interdisciplinary collaboration, sharing expert experiences among team members 28,30,32,61 . Nurses can use evidence‐based information to work with anesthesia colleagues, child life specialists, and music therapists to convert children's distressed anticipation of surgery to a tolerable, if not pleasant, experience.…”

Although anesthesia during surgery prevents children from recalling actual surgical events, they are subjected to stressful events while preparing for surgery. One estimate suggests that 60% of children experience significant anxiety before anesthesia induction and surgery, and literature from around the world indicates that preoperative anxiety is a global concern for health care providers. The challenge that nurses face is to better manage children's anxiety in today's fast paced ORs. This article uses case studies to show nursing strategies that can be used to help allay the fears of children at different psychosocial stages of development.
