Going to the hospital for surgery is an event that most people may find daunting. Anticipation of the unknown, lack of control over events and unfamiliarity with the environment may result in feelings of anxiety and stress. This research paper used a quantitative descriptive survey to establish the information needs of parents of children admitted for same day surgery. The main aims of this study were to establish what information parents had received prior to their child's admission for same day surgery, and how they perceived this information. It also determined what other information they required. The findings demonstrated that the majority of parents in this study were satisfied with the information they had received. However they wanted further advice on the waiting times involved, the equipment used in the operating room department, pain relief and the procedures in the recovery room.
去医院做手术是大多数人可能感到畏惧的事情。对未知的预期、对事件的缺乏控制和对环境的不熟悉可能会导致焦虑和压力。本研究论文采用定量描述性调查，确定了当天接受手术的儿童的父母的信息需求。本研究的主要目的是确定父母在孩子当天接受手术前收到了哪些信息，以及他们如何看待这些信息。它还确定了他们还需要哪些其他信息。研究结果表明，本研究中的大多数父母对他们收到的信息感到满意。然而，他们希望进一步了解手术等候时间、手术室部门使用的设备、止痛和恢复室的程序方面的建议。
