| الوصف: | Background and Aim: Preoperative paediatric anxiety is a common phenomenon usually associated with surgery and has a negative effect on postoperative recovery. Like higher postoperative pain, emergence delirium, uncooperative behavior, and higher doses of sedation or preoperative analgesia. This study aims to reduce preoperative anxiety in children undergoing surgeries under anaesthesia using smartphone as a distraction technique. Material and Method: This blinded randomized clinical trial included 40 children aged 3 to 12 years undergoing a planned surgical intervention at a GMERS general hospital randomized into experimental (n = 20) and control (n = 20) groups. The video was shown on a smartphone to children in the experimental group preceding a planned surgical procedure. The control group was posted for surgery without intervention. Results: There was statistically significant reduction in mYPAS score in experimental group compared to control group. Conclusion: Smartphone can be used to reduce preoperative paediatric anxiety as a distraction technique. ; Background and Aim: Preoperative paediatric anxiety is a common phenomenon usually associated with surgery and has a negative effect on postoperative recovery.
