Animated Education Combined with Encouragement-Based Intervention for Improving Anesthesia Cooperation and Reducing Anxiety in Pediatric Patients: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

INTERVENTION: Trial group:Routine nursing care in the ward, with one family member waiting in the waiting room 10‐20 minutes before surgery. One nursing staff provides a tablet to the child, playing a perioperative process animation video developed by our department, covering preoperative visit, operating room environment, operating room personnel, postoperative recovery room environment, and recovery room conditions. At the same time, verbal communication is conducted using suggestion and reward methods, such as: "Are you a little brave?" "The nurse has a courage lollipop, only little brave ones can have it." "And if you bravely cooperate with us, you can eat the courage lollipop after surgery." Then the lollipop is attached to the front of the child's patient gown. Just before surgery begins, the nursing staff accompanies the child into the operating room, providing verbal and behavioral encouragement, followed by anesthesia induction. After successful induction, surgery proceeds.;Control group:Routine nursing care in the ward, with one family member accompanying the child in the waiting room 10‐20 minutes before surgery. Nursing staff communicates normally with the child and family members. During anesthesia induction, one medical staff member brings the child into the operating room for induction, followed by surgery after successful induction.; CONDITION: Perioperative anxiety and cooperation during anesthesia induction PRIMARY OUTCOME: Pediatric Preoperative Anxiety Score; SECONDARY OUTCOME: Compliance Score During Anesthesia Induction;Anxiety Score in Pediatric Patients' Caregivers;Heart Rate, Systolic Blood Pressure, and Diastolic Blood Pressure at Arrival in the Operating Room and at Surgery Onset; INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Children aged 2–9 years; 2. ASA physical status I–II; 3. Undergoing elective surgery; 4. Both the child and their parents agree to participate in this study.
