Abstract EN
Background.
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.
