Preoperative anxiety and fear are common among pediatric patients and may negatively affect postoperative outcomes. providing structured and age-appropriate information through video-based education may help reduce these negative emotional responses.
ın this study, children scheduled for tonsil surgery will receive video-assisted preoperative education, and their levels of fear, anxiety, and pain wiil be assessed using standardized measurement tools. the results of this study are expected to contribute to improving preoperative preparation and postoperative outcomes in pediatric patients.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study is specifically looking at video-based education to help reduce fear, anxiety, and pain in children having tonsil surgery — is this kind of preparation something my child could benefit from, even outside of a formal trial?
2Since this trial is no longer enrolling new participants, are there similar approaches or educational tools already being used at this hospital that we could use to help my child feel less scared before their tonsil surgery?
3The trial measures both preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain levels in children — based on what's already known, how much of a difference can preparing a child emotionally actually make on how much pain they feel after the surgery?
4What does the video education in this study actually involve, and is there anything comparable you could share with us now to help my child understand what to expect before their procedure?
5Since this is listed as Phase N/A and focuses on an educational rather than a medical intervention, does that mean the main concern is more about my child's comfort and experience than about any medical risk from the intervention itself?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
