Trial Outcomes & Findings for REducing Anxiety in CHildren Undergoing Procedures (NCT NCT03054077)

NCT ID: NCT03054077

Last Updated: 2017-10-10

Results Overview

The Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale- Short form (mYPAS-SF) Ratings produce 4 mYPAS scores (1 for each time point) Areas scored: Activity (1,2,3, or 4) Vocalizations (1,2,3,4,5,or 6) Emotional Expressivity (1,2,3, or 4) State of Apparent arousal (1,2,3, or 4) Scoring: Each score is calculated by dividing each item rating by the highest possible rating (i.e., 6 for the "vocalizations" item and 4 for all other items), adding all the produced values, dividing by 5, and multiplying by 100. This calculation produces a score ranging from 23.33 to 100, with higher values indicating higher anxiety. Comparison of scores between Group 1 and Group 2 to see if changes in anxiety scores occurred with the addition of the iPad. All data will be gathered with review at the close of the study which is anticipated to occur in 5/20/2017.

Control or Group 1
This group receives standard of care for the child receiving a sedated procedure. There is no intervention for this group.
Intervention Group or Group 2
This group receives an iPad with downloaded games to play while waiting for the sedation/procedure and then resume play upon return to the recovery area and awakening. iPad with downloaded games: iPad with downloaded games will be given to children randomized to group 2 for use during their time in the peri-operative unit
