Abstract

Paediatric surgery elicits anxiety in children and their parents. The present study tests the impact of Play Specialist-based intervention (PS) on children's and parents' anxiety pre and post thoracoplasty. The study was held at Gaslini pediatric hospital (Genoa, Italy) and involved families with a child undergoing thoracoplasty to correct children's pectus carinatum (PC) or excavatum (PE). Children provided with PS-based intervention (n=40) were compared with control children (n=32). The mothers of PS children (n=40) were compared with the control mothers (n=32), and the fathers of PS children (n=40) were compared with the control fathers (n=32). Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was administered to assess pre and post thoracoplasty anxiety. T-tests and Analyses of Covariance (ANCOVA), Bayes factors for t-tests and ANCOVA were computed. A significant interaction effect between time and group (i.e., PS and controls) emerged for children, mothers, and fathers. Bonferroni post-hoc analyses revealed that PS children's and PS mothers' postoperative anxiety was lower than controls' postoperative anxiety. PS fathers' experienced greater preoperative anxiety than controls and no significant differences with control fathers emerged in postoperative anxiety. PS-based intervention emerged to reduce children's and parents' anxiety over time, and to diminish children's and mothers' postoperative anxiety in comparison with the controls.

胸廓成形术前后儿童和家长的焦虑水平。基于游戏专家的干预有益结果

儿科手术引起儿童及其父母的焦虑。本研究测试了基于游戏专家的干预（PS）对儿童和父母在开胸术前后焦虑的影响。这项研究在Gaslini儿科医院（意大利热那亚）进行，涉及有一个孩子正在接受隆胸手术以矫正儿童隆突（PC）或漏斗（PE）的家庭。将接受PS干预的儿童（n=40）与对照儿童（n=32）进行比较。PS儿童的母亲（n=40）与对照母亲（n=32）进行比较，PS儿童的父亲（n=40。采用视觉模拟量表（VAS）评估开胸术前后的焦虑。计算T检验和协方差分析（ANCOVA）、T检验的贝叶斯因子和ANCOVA。儿童、母亲和父亲在时间和组（即PS和对照组）之间出现了显著的交互作用。Bonferroni事后分析显示，PS儿童和PS母亲的术后焦虑低于对照组。PS父亲的术前焦虑程度高于对照组，术后焦虑程度与对照组父亲无显著差异。与对照组相比，基于PS的干预可以随着时间的推移减少儿童和父母的焦虑，并减少儿童和母亲的术后焦虑。
