ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study was planned for the purpose of evaluating the anxiety levels of parents with children who would be undergoing a day surgical intervention. Material and Methods: Designed as descriptive research, the universe of the study comprised the parents of children who had presented at the orthopedics and traumatology clinic of a training and research hospital in İstanbul for day orthopedic surgery. The sample constituted 91 parents who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected with a Child and Parent Information Questionnaire and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results: It was found that 51.6% of the parents were 35 years of age and below, 59.3% of them were mothers and 28.6% of children were between 12-15 years of age, 75.8% of them were attending school and 31.9% of them were educated in high school. The mean scores of the parents on State-Trait Anxiety Scale were 54.62±8.65, 43.09±6.99, respectively. The mean scores of mothers' State Anxiety Scale were found to be higher than the mean scores of fathers (p<0.01). State-Trait Anxiety scores of the parents who were informed about anesthesia were found to be higher than those of parents who were not informed (p<0.01). Conclusion: The parents' State and Trait Inventory scores indicated that they were experiencing a moderate level of anxiety. There were certain individual factors that affected their anxiety levels prior to the orthopedic surgery. It can be recommended that nurses plan to provide education to parents with children undergoing day orthopedic surgery for the purpose of reducing levels of anxiety.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, çocuğu günübirlik cerrahi girişim geçirecek olan ebeveynlerin kaygı düzeylerini değerlendirmek amacıyla planlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı türde gerçekleştirilen araştırmanın evrenini, İstanbul'da bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinin ortopedi ve travmatoloji kliniğine günübirlik ortopedik cerrahi girişim nedeniyle başvuran çocukların ebeveynleri oluşturdu. Örneklemini ise çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 91 ebeveyn oluşturdu. Veriler; Çocuk ve Ebeveyn Bilgi Formu, Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği ile toplandı. Bulgular: Ebeveynlerin %51,6'sının 35 yaş ve altında, %59,3'ünün anne olduğu, çocukların ise %28,6'sının 12-15 yaş arasında olduğu, %75,8'inin okula gittiği ve %31,9'unun lisede eğitim gördüğü belirlendi. Ebeveynlerin Durumluk ve Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği'nden aldıkları puan ortalamaları sırasıyla 54,62±8,65, 43,09±6,99 olduğu belirlendi. Annelerin Sürekli Kaygı puan ortalamalarının, babaların Sürekli Kaygı puan ortalamalarından yüksek olduğu saptandı (pp<0,01). Anestezi hakkında bilgilendirilen ebeveynlerin Durumluk Kaygı puan ortalamaları, bilgilendirilmeyen ebeveynlerin Durumluk Kaygı puan ortalamalarından yüksek olduğu belirlendi (p<0,01). Sonuç: Ebeveynlerin Durumluk ve Sürekli Kaygı puan ortalamalarına göre orta düzeyde anksiyete deneyimledikleri ve günübirlik ortopedik cerrahi girişim öncesinde anksiyete düzeylerini etkileyen bazı bireysel faktörler olduğu saptandı. Bu doğrultuda, hemşirelerin günübirlik ortopedik cerrahi girişim uygulanacak çocukların ebeveynlerinin anksiyete düzeylerini azaltmaya yönelik eğitimlerin planlaması önerilebilir.
