Summary

1. The aim of this study is to assess anxiety in pediatric patients preoperatively, perioperatively, and postoperatively and whether meditation reduces anxiety in the days before, during, and after the surgery.
2. The second aim of this study is to see if longitudinal meditation is associated with decreased postoperative pain by examining whether the group prescribed meditation has reduced pain medication intake, measured by the frequency of liquid analgesic medicine intake.

  • Pediatric Kidney Disease

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

PeSSKi questionnaire survey

The control group will only receive the questionnaire without meditation. The PeSSKi questionnaire survey will be receive in 4 time point, First questionnaire will sent via email after the appointment for the surgery is scheduled. The second PeSSKi questionnaire survey will share via email at halfway point to the surgery. The third questionnaire survey will be done immediately before the day of surgery in person to assess how anxious the patient is. The final questionnaire survey will be done 1 week postoperatively to assess how much pain the patient is still in after the quantity of analgesic usage logged throughout the week.

BEHAVIORAL

Meditation Video

The experimental group pediatric patients selected for this study and their parents will be receiving meditation and PeSSKi (Perceived Stress Scale for Kids) questionnaire. The ideal meditation schedule will be 3-5 meditations per week for 5 minutes beginning 3 weeks before surgery. This will provide a dose-response relationship of meditation to anxiety and postoperative pain for data analysis. The Patient and their parents will open the link, enter their assigned number, and follow the guided meditation embedded in the Qualtrics. This will track how many times and for how long the patients are following the regimen. The questionnaire has eleven questions on a five-point scale ranging from "Not at all" to "A lot". An example of the meditation video questionnaire is linked here: https://augusta.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV\_3DeFFKdJVupMJQq (experimental group) https://augusta.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV\_2b2DZ9x16jY9IzQ (PeSSKi questionnaire)
