To explore the effect of parental presence on the recovery period of paediatric patients undergoing general anaesthesia for snoring surgery.
Methods
Forty-two paediatric patients who underwent snoring surgery were randomly divided into control and observation groups. The control group received routine nursing intervention, while the observation group allowed either the father or mother to enter the recovery room immediately after the child was awake and extubated, in addition to the routine nursing intervention.
Results
Paediatric anaesthesia emergence delirium score during the recovery period was significantly lower in the observation group than the control group. The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability score during the recovery period was also significantly lower in the observation group. Parental satisfaction with nursing was significantly higher in the observation group.
Conclusion
Immediate parental presence can effectively alleviate insecurity, reduce pain, decrease crying and restlessness of paediatric patients, and improve parental satisfaction with nursing.
