Association of Temperament With Preoperative Anxiety in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Surgery
Abstract
Importance: Preoperative anxiety is associated with poor behavioral adherence during anesthetic induction and adverse postoperative outcomes. Research suggests that temperament can affect preoperative anxiety and influence its short- and long-term effects, but these associations have not been systematically examined.
Objective: To examine the associations of temperament with preoperative anxiety in young patients undergoing surgery.
