Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Anesthetic induction can be one of the most stressful experiences for the child during the perioperative period, with almost 50% of the children showing significant anxiety. . To minimize the effect of anxiety, several methods have been adopted, such as the introduction of day-case surgery, parental presence at the induction of anesthesia, distractions and the use of pharmacological agents like midazolam to reduce anxiety.

Although the effect of parental presence on the anxiety of children and parents was studied in various studies. Whether the children's choice of parental selection affects anxiety is not studied yet. In this study, we will evaluate the anxiety of children by using mYPAS .
