Impact of the Information Leaflet on the Anesthesia Knowledge and Anxiety Levels of Children and Parents

Leaflets prepared to inform about anesthesia and endoscopic procedure will be given to both parents and pediatric patients. A standard leaflet has been prepared for parents. Two leaflets have been prepared for children under the age of 12 and for adolescent patients over the age of 12. Unlike routine hospital information forms, all leaflets designed and prepared as a cartoon book. It is narrated using photographs of the materials and toys in the endoscopy room. It was predicted that there would be a difference between the groups who read and did not read this information leaflet in terms of anxiety levels and anesthesia knowledge levels.
