[Abstract]Objective:Explore the impact of interactive nursing education on family anxiety of pediatric surgery patients and understanding of informed consent procedures. Method: A prospective study was conducted on 102 parents of pediatric surgery patients admitted to our hospital from December 2022 to October 2023. They were randomly divided into a study group of 51 cases and a control group of 51 cases using a random number table method. The control group implemented a conventional education model, while the research group implemented an interactive nursing education model. The differences in the awareness of surgical related knowledge among parents, the Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS score) of parental anxiety, the understanding of parental informed consent procedures for surgery, and satisfaction between the two groups were compared. Result: There was no statistically significant difference in the awareness of preoperative surgery related knowledge between the two groups of parents (P>0.05). Compared with preoperative knowledge, preoperative examinations, diet, and feeding methods, the awareness rates of postoperative surgery related knowledge, preoperative examinations, diet, and feeding methods among the two groups of parents increased (P<0.05). Moreover, compared with the control group, the awareness rates of postoperative surgery related knowledge, preoperative examinations, diet, and feeding methods among the study group of parents were higher (P<0.05). Repeated measurements showed that there were statistically significant differences in the time point effect, inter group effect, and interaction effect of SAS scores between the two groups of parents (P<0.05). Compared with preoperative, the SAS scores of both groups of parents decreased after surgery and at discharge (P<0.05), and the study group was lower than the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the study group had higher levels of parental satisfaction with informed consent, understanding of informed consent procedures, and information satisfaction (P<0.05). The rank sum test of rank data showed that compared with the control group, the satisfaction of the study group was better (P<0.05). Conclusion: Interactive nursing education for parents of pediatric surgery patients can effectively improve their awareness of surgical related knowledge, alleviate anxiety, improve their understanding of surgical informed consent procedures, and enhance their satisfaction.
