Abstract:

Individuals with children may experience stress due to a number of factors; in fact, parenting itself may be considered a stressful life event. Stress in parents affects their behaviours and has negative effects on their children. Stressed parents are likely to respond negatively to the stress in their child. Within the context of the family stress, parenting stress has been divided into stress of the child, which refers to those qualities in the child that make it difficult and stressful for the parent to fulfil their parental roles in providing child’s needs. Parental behaviour is as important as children’s anxiety in the way fasting instructions are adhered to same day surgery situations. It was shown that mothers who did not comply with fasting requirements perceived the procedure as more threatening and were more anxious and had lower conscientiousness levels. Additionally, mother's anxiety prior to surgery mediated the association between mothers' threat perception and compliance. Numerous scales and questionnaires have been developed to assess dental fear and anxiety. Despite variations in prevalence rates, other findings related to dental fear and anxiety are mostly in line with each other. The lecture will also compare the parental anxiety between parents who get chair side treatment with or without using nitrous oxide to the parental anxiety felt by them whom get there treatment under general anesthesia.
