Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Child Anxiety (7 Years Old and Older)
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours following procedure
Assessed by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC): 20 questions with 3 answer options for each question. Scores range from 20 to 60 with 60 being the higher (more or worse) anxiety on self-assessment.
Child Pain Score
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours following procedure
Assessed by Wong-Baker Children's Faces Pain Scale: The scale shows a series of faces ranging from a happy face at 0 which represents "no hurt" to a crying face at 10 which represents "hurts worst." Based on the faces and descriptions, the patient chooses the face that best describes their level of pain.
Child Anxiety (Younger Than 7 Years Old)
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours following procedure
Assessed by Children's Fear Scale: The Children's Fear Scale (CFS) is used to measure the anxiety or fear level of the children. The one-item scale consists of a row of five sex neutral faces ranging from a no fear (neutral) face on the far left to a face showing extreme fear on the far right. Thus, the scale is 1-5 with 1 being least fear and 5 being greatest fear and anxiety.
Secondary Outcomes
- Parental Anxiety(Up to 24 hours following procedure)
