Summary

Younger children and girls experience more distress during ENT surgery. Overnight parental presence is linked to increased distress, suggesting targeted preparation programs for children and parents.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Child Psychology
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Pediatric patients undergoing surgery often experience significant distress.
  • Understanding factors influencing distress is crucial for improving patient care.
  • Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) surgery is common in children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the levels and predictors of distress in children admitted for ENT surgery.
  • To identify specific age groups and demographic factors associated with higher distress.
  • To explore the impact of parental presence on pediatric surgical distress.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study involving 221 children admitted for ENT surgery.
  • Distress levels were assessed by nursing staff.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Data collected on patient age, gender, and overnight parental presence.

    • Main Results:

    • Children aged 5 years and under exhibited the highest distress levels.
    • Girls reported greater distress compared to boys.
    • The presence of a parent overnight was associated with increased child distress.

    Conclusions:

    • Younger children require tailored preparation programs to mitigate surgical distress.
    • Preparation strategies should also consider involving parents to reduce anxiety.
    • Interventions should focus on age-specific and gender-sensitive approaches for pediatric surgical patients.
