We aimed to investigate the correlation between the anxiety scores of parents whose children are administered anesthesia for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the level of information provided to them before the MRI. The study included 146 children and their parents. The demographic information of the children and their parents was recorded. The parents were divided into two groups. In Group I, the patient's medical history and physical exam findings were recorded on a standard consultation form by an anesthesiologist. In Group II, the parents were additionally provided with more detailed information on how the anesthesia would be administered and the drugs to be used and their side effects and complications. The anxiety scores of the parents were found to be lower in Group II. A higher level of education was associated with higher anxiety scores. Intergroup comparison detected lower anxiety scores for Group II parents whose education levels were up to high school. However, no change upon receiving detailed information was detected in the anxiety scores of parents with higher education levels. In conclusion, this may lower the anxiety scores in parents informed about details of anesthesia administration and may raise parents' sense of confidence in the doctor.
我们旨在调查为接受磁共振成像（MRI）麻醉的儿童的家长焦虑评分与MRI前向他们提供的信息水平之间的相关性。该研究纳入了146名儿童及其家长。记录了儿童及其家长的人口统计学信息。将家长分为两组。在第一组中，由麻醉医生在标准会诊表格上记录患者的病史和体格检查结果。在第二组中，还向家长提供了关于麻醉将如何实施、所用药物及其副作用和并发症的更详细信息。发现第二组家长的焦虑评分较低。较高的教育水平与较高的焦虑评分相关。组间比较发现，教育水平达到高中的第二组家长焦虑评分较低。然而，受过高等教育的家长在收到详细信息后焦虑评分未发现变化。总之，这可能会降低了解麻醉实施细节的家长的焦虑评分，并可能提高家长对医生的信心。
