Anxiety

Other: Experimental Group
Registration Number
NCT03205397
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Limoges
Brief Summary

In France, during surgery, only 4% of parents are present at induction, most often for children with disabilities with iterative interventions. Some studies have shown that the presence of parents during induction decreases the anxiety of children, while others do not. Their conclusions all advocate preparing parents for this presence in the operating room in an accompanying course.
