Brief Summary

The aim of this prospective study is to investigate whether the anxiety levels of parents of children aged 2-6 years who will undergo inguinal area surgery have an effect on the child\'s preoperative anxiety level and postoperative pain level.

Conditions

Anxiety; Children

Keywords

children; anxiety; analgesia; pediatric; anaesthesia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Anxiety level of parents

  It will be measured with STAI-I and STAI-II (State-Trait Anxiety Scale) scale forms.

  preoperative period

• Anxiety level of the child undergoing surgery

  According to the m-YPAS (modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety) scale, children's anxiety levels will be calculated in the preoperative waiting room (T1) and when the anesthesia ventilation mask is shown (T4).

  preoperative and intraoperative period

• Pain levels of children undergoing surgery

  Pain levels of all children taken to the recovery unit will be measured with the FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolabilityscale) score at the 5th, 10th, 20th and 30th minutes.

  postoperative period

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• heart rate

  intraoperative period

• heart rate

  up to 8 hour postoperative

• complication

  up to 24 hour postoperative

Study Arms (1)

children group

Are between the ages of 2-6, are planned to undergo surgery under general anesthesia due to inguinal area pathology, No mental or neurological disorders in both mother and child No vision, hearing or speech problems in both mother and child Parents and children who volunteer to participate in the research will be included in the study. Those who did not volunteer to participate in the study, Undergoing surgery with a pathology other than the inguinal area, Having emergency surgery Children with pathologies (mental retardation, neurological problems, etc.) that may cause difficulty in communicating with both the family and the child will not be included in the study.

Other: determining scores with tests

Interventions

determining scores with tests OTHER

Parents of children preparing for the operation will be given a child and family information form and STAI-I and STAI-II (State-Trait Anxiety Scale) scale forms and will be asked to fill them out themselves. An anesthesia technician blind to the content of the study will calculate and take notes on the children\'s anxiety levels, according to the m-YPAS (modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety) scale, in the preoperative waiting room (T1) and when the anesthesia ventilation mask is shown (T4). FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolabilityscale) scores and spO2, pulse values and complications such as nausea, vomiting and desaturation at the 5th, 10th, 20th and 30th minutes of all children taken to the recovery unit in the postoperative period will be recorded by the recovery unit nurse. . Children who are thought to have pain according to the FLACC score will be given 0.5 mg/kg meperidine as rescue analgesia and a note will be taken.
