Summary

Preoperative anxiety is characterized by subjective emotions such as irritability, irritability, sadness, and unhappiness. Studies have shown that preoperative anxiety negatively affects children both psychologically and physiologically. Preoperative anxiety occurs in 60-80% of children undergoing anesthesia and surgery and is associated with undesirable consequences such as nightmares, separation anxiety, eating disorders, negative behavioral changes such as increased fear of doctors, increased need for analgesics. The aim of this study is to evaluate the preoperative and pre-sedation anxiety levels in pediatric patients by explaining the peroperative process to the patients with drawings.

BEHAVIORAL

Explains the perioperative process with pictures

We will draw pictures of the preoperative area, operating room and postoperative areas of our operating room and explain the process to 34 of the children who will undergo surgery with these pictures. We will explain the process to the other 34 people without the pictures we have. We planned to measure the anxiety levels between the two groups with the modified Yale scale.
