Preoperative Anxiety Level
Preoperative anxiety will be assessed using the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS) and the Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A) during the preoperative period. Preoperative anxiety will be assessed using m-YPAS, (score range 23-100) and VAS-A (score range 0-10), with higher scores indicating increased anxiety severity.
Assessments will be conducted in the waiting area, immediately before transfer to the operating room, during transport through the operating room corridor, and immediately before anesthesia induction.
Postoperative Emergence Delirium
From extubation through 30 minutes after admission to the post-anesthesia care unit
Participants will be transferred to the operating room using a ride-on toy car.
