OBJECTIVE
To assess the ability of mothers and fathers at predicting children's anxiety at anesthesia induction.
METHODS
Participants were parents and their children aged 2-12 years (n = 159). Parents predicted child anxiety using a Visual Analog Scale. Observed child anxiety was assessed using the Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale.
RESULTS
Results of linear regressions indicated that fathers' predictions were significantly related to children's anxiety, whereas mothers' predictions were not. Baseline anxiety in mothers and fathers did not contribute to a model predicting children's observed anxiety. Child gender did not moderate the relations between fathers' predictions and children's observed anxiety.
CONCLUSIONS
Fathers' predictions of children's anxiety were related to children's observed anxiety at anesthesia induction; mothers' predictions were not. Thus, fathers may be able to more accurately identify a need for intervention. Further research is needed to better explain discrepancies between mothers and fathers.
目的
评估母亲和父亲预测儿童麻醉诱导时焦虑的能力。
方法
参与者为父母及其 2-12 岁的儿童（n=159）。父母使用视觉模拟量表预测儿童焦虑。观察儿童的焦虑使用耶鲁术前焦虑量表评估。
结果
线性回归的结果表明，父亲的预测与儿童的焦虑显著相关，而母亲的预测则不相关。母亲和父亲的基线焦虑并未促进预测儿童观察到的焦虑的模型。儿童的性别并没有调节父亲的预测与儿童观察到的焦虑之间的关系。
结论
父亲对儿童焦虑的预测与儿童麻醉诱导时观察到的焦虑相关；母亲的预测则不相关。因此，父亲可能能够更准确地识别干预的需求。需要进一步的研究来更好地解释父母之间的差异。
