Abstract

Anxiety events in pediatric patients exposed to surgical procedures may be ameliorated through preanesthetic agents, distractive activities, activities contextualized to hospitalization, psychological counseling and/or parental presence. The present literature review investigated empirical studies on the effects of non-pharmacological interventions on children undergoing surgery. The portals of CAPES, PROQUEST and SciELO Periodicals were consulted between 2018 and 2013.
