Major work as SRNA: Perceived Anxiety of the Nurse Anesthetist of
Parent Presence during Induction of Anesthesia.
Parent presence during induction of anesthesia (PPIA) is a fairly new concept that is being implemented in order to incorporate family involvement with the pediatric patient in the operating room. Previous studies have not researched PPIA’s effect on the anesthetic provider, specifically nurse anesthetists.
Objectives: This study examined the nurse anesthetist’s perceptions, attitudes, and emotions regarding PPIA; and possibly past experiences which can affect the anesthetic provider’s peri-operative anxiety possibly impacting the outcome.
