Time Frame: 18 month
Authors will be investigated the relationship between maternal pain catastrophizing score levels and the postoperative pain experienced by the child. Empathy towards pain is necessary to notice, understand, and respond to another person's pain. Children develop empathy towards pain over time, which may be related to social learning. Pain Catastrophizing scale (PCS): The PCS is a self-assessment questionnaire to examine catastrophizing in clinical and nonclinical populations. The PCS consists of 13 statements containing a number of thoughts and feelings one may experience when having pain. The items are divided into the categories of rumination, magnification and helplessness, with each item scored on a 5-point scale, from 0 (not at all) to 4 (always), people are asked to rate how often they experience the mentioned thoughts and feelings when they are in pain. The overall score has a range of 0-52.
