Abstract

Objective: The care of pediatric patients with mental retardation (MR) who will undergo surgery for families may become complex and stressful. This study aimed to investigate the effect of MR grade on the anxiety of parents of pediatric patients who will undergo surgery under general anesthesia.Methods: The parents of 40 pediatric patients with group MR and 60 pediatric patients with normal mental state (group NMS) who underwent surgery under general anesthesia were subjected to preoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) test. In addition to parents’ demographic data, such as age, sex, educational status, occupational status, and consanguineous marriages, the effect of sex and MR grade of children on anxiety was examined.Results: The patient’s demographics showed nonsignificant differences. No significant difference was found between the parents of the two groups in terms of SAI and TAI scores. Similarly, parental occupation, education level, and sex of the child had no effect on the SAI and TAI scores. The presence of consanguineous marriages was significantly higher in group MR. In group NMS, a significant positive correlation was found between SAI and TAI scores of the parents.Conclusion: No correlation was found between the presence and MR grade of the child and parents’ SAI and TAI scores. Therefore, no relationship was found between MR in children and parental anxiety levels.
