Summary

This study tested a personalized internet-based program (WebTIPS) to help children ages 1-12 feel less anxious before surgery and recover more smoothly. Over 1,200 parent-child pairs took part, with some using the tailored program and others receiving standard online information. The goal was to see if the tailored approach could reduce anxiety, pain, and behavior changes after surgery.
