Summary
Children who will have surgery and need anesthesia, and their parents are often anxious and show signs of stress and discomfort. A main reason for concern and anxiety is fear of anesthesia and surgery, and lack of knowledge of what is going to happen. The purpose of the study is to see if a specific preoperative information brochure aimed at the parents will make the parents feel better prepared for the procedures.
