Summary
This study tested a special interactive tool called PIRA, designed to prepare children aged 4 to 10 for surgery in a fun, kid-friendly way. Researchers compared it to standard preoperative education to see if it could lower anxiety in children and parents, and reduce confusion after anesthesia. The study involved 76 families at Boston Children's Hospital and measured anxiety levels and recovery experiences.
