Stressors encountered by the parents due to planned surgery of the child
Keywords:
Parental Anxiety, Surgery, Child
Abstract
The child's surgery is a significant event in their life, affecting both the child and their parents. Parents face many difficulties as a result of their extreme anguish while witnessing their child in agony. In addition to the child's surgery, parental anxiety is a significant issue that might impact the child's recovery, post-operative care, mental health, and relationship with their parents. The health of the parent will likewise be impacted in the same manner as the child. In this review, discussion has been done over the stressors encountered by the parents due to planned surgery of the child, its effect on the child as well as parents, and strategies to reduce parental anxiety before surgery of the child.
