The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of therapeutic play on outcomes of children undergoing day surgery. Two hundred and three children admitted for day surgery were invited to participate in a randomized controlled trial. The experimental group received therapeutic play; the control group received routine information preparation. Children in the experimental group reported significantly lower state anxiety scores in pre- and postoperative periods and exhibited fewer negative emotions at induction of anesthesia than children in the control group. No significant differences were found between the two groups in postoperative pain. The study provides some evidence that therapeutic play is effective in pre- as opposed to postsurgical management of children.
本研究的目的是探讨治疗性游戏对接受日间手术儿童的治疗效果。邀请了203名接受日间手术的儿童参与一项随机对照试验。实验组接受治疗性游戏；对照组接受常规信息准备。与对照组儿童相比，实验组儿童在术前和术后的状态焦虑得分显著更低，在麻醉诱导时表现出的负面情绪也更少。两组在术后疼痛方面未发现显著差异。该研究提供了一些证据，表明治疗性游戏在儿童术前而非术后管理中是有效的。
