This study measures the anxiety levels in 100 parents of children scheduled for elective surgery at the Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital. Anxiety levels were quantified using the Leeds scale for self-assessment of anxiety. Forty-two per cent of parents were significantly anxious. Mothers were identified as being more pathologically anxious than fathers. The 'anxious' parents were specifically more anxious about the surgery, anaesthesia, postoperative pain and treatment, and hospitalisation in general. All parents, whether identified as anxious or not, agreed on factors likely to reduce anxiety: pre-operative information from staff, being able to accompany their child to the operating theatre and being present at induction of anaesthesia.
本研究对皇家阿伯丁儿童医院计划接受择期手术患儿的100名家长的焦虑水平进行了测量。焦虑水平采用利兹焦虑自评量表进行量化。42%的家长存在明显焦虑。结果显示母亲比父亲在病理上更焦虑。“焦虑”的家长尤其对手术、麻醉、术后疼痛及治疗以及总体住院情况更为焦虑。所有家长，无论是否被认定为焦虑，都认同可能减轻焦虑的因素：医护人员提供的术前信息、能够陪孩子进入手术室以及在麻醉诱导时在场。
