ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Increasing attention is being paid to a variety of non-pharmacological interventions for reduction of preoperative anxiety such as music therapy, music medicine interventions, and visual imagery technique for the children undergoing surgeries. Method: Randomized controlled trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness of visual imagery technique (VIT) with conventional intervention on preoperative anxiety among 24 children undergoing surgeries, aged between 4 to 12 years. Experimental group received prerecorded guided audio for visual imagination for 15 to 30 minutes duration minimum 3 times a day, along with conventional interventions and control group received conventional interventions. Hamilton anxiety rating scale was used to measure the preoperative anxiety level. Result: The percentage of effect was 42.4% and 2.89% in experimental and control group respectively. The effect size of experimental group was 1.34. Conclusion: If visual imagery technique given especially just before giving anesthesia, the child will experience very less anxiety or no anxiety and that could reduce the post-operative stay and improve outcome status of the child.
