Area of Science:

  • Medical technology
  • Psychology
  • Surgical care

Background:

  • Parental anxiety is a significant concern in pediatric surgery.
  • Virtual reality (VR) offers a potential tool for familiarizing parents with the operating room (OR).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a 3-dimensional (3D) VR headset tour on parental anxiety levels before and after pediatric surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental, pre-post-test design with two groups (control and intervention) was employed.
  • Parents (n=60) were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).
  • The intervention group received a 30-minute VR tour of the OR, while the control group received standard hospital information.

Main Results:

  • VR intervention did not significantly reduce parental anxiety scores at pre-discharge, 1 month, or 3 months post-surgery.
  • Parents in both groups reported mild anxiety pre-surgery.
  • Higher STAI trait anxiety scores were observed in parents of daughters, those living separately, and part-time workers one month post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • VR headset tours did not demonstrate a reduction in parental anxiety in this study.
  • A comprehensive, individualized approach to informing parents about the OR is essential.
