Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Parental preprocedural anxiety evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS, 1-10) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, made up of the State-Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Trait-Anxiety Inventory (TAI). The German short version of the STAI was used with 10 statements regarding the state anxiety and trait anxiety for the patient, respectively. Scores for each short inventory ranged from 10 to 40, while higher scores were associated with higher anxiety levels. Collected before discharge and after the patient education.	—
