Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of informational Spanish anesthesia video on the level of anxiety and uncertainty with Native Spanish speaking parents. A pilot study.
We hypothesized that showing native Spanish speaking parents, a Spanish video explaining the risks and benefits of anesthesia within two weeks prior to surgery would reduce parental anxiety. ⋯ Hispanic parents who viewed the preanesthesia Spanish-video had lower levels of anxiety compared to those who did not watch the video.
