A high percentage of children admitted to the PACU were still drowsy, requiring continuous observation. Moreover, 14% of the population assessed presented complications such as desaturation, agitation, pain, nausea and vomiting, and laryngospasm. The study portrayed the importance of a multidisciplinary team in patient care, adoption of pain control, nausea/vomiting, and the need for contact with parents until anesthetic induction. |

Randomized parallel controlled clinical trial |
06 to 14 |
Providing perioperative guidance with and without the use of comic books was able to reduce parental anxiety, but when provided on the day of surgery, it had no impact on the anxiety of children and adolescents. The study recommended that preoperative preparation be carried out at the time of scheduling the surgery. |

Multicenter study |
06 to14 |
Early postoperative feeding in children undergoing appendectomy affected the occurrence of the first flatus and feces evacuation, the length of hospital stay and the level of hunger, thirst and pain. It was suggested that nurses together with the multidisciplinary team incorporate evidence found and affirm the development of early feeding protocols together with the team. |

In developing a nursing care plan, it was possible to identify intra, inter and extra personal factors that allowed planning the care and prevention levels proposed by Neuman, expanding nursing vision to holism and well-being. Pain, anxiety and risk of neurological injury were the most recurrent stressors. |

Perioperative nursing care promotes recovery and reduces hospital stay. The postoperative period was uneventful, with patients being discharged six days after surgery without complications. Investing in the care plan enables patients to return to daily activities sooner. |

Theoretical guide |
0 to 18 |
A care guide for neuroatypical patients and challenging behaviors was created. It was suggested to maintain the room ambiance, reduce waiting times, have a reference professional, and improve communication among the team. In addition, it was recommended to include the family in care, administer medications before arrival at the hospital, identify the rooms of patients with challenging behaviors, and use People First Language. |

The guide highlighted ensuring patient safety, planning and management of perioperative care with educational interventions that can reduce anxiety among family members and adolescents during surgical preparation. It provided recommendations for clinical approach to adolescents according to their age and application of informed consent. |

Children and adolescents (no age specified) (n:76) |
The study demonstrated that providing visual information about the anesthesia recovery room and maintaining the presence of a family member in this unit was effective in reducing anxiety, delirium and pain in children and adolescents upon awakening from anesthesia. It is recommended that nursing staff follow this approach. |

Holistic perioperative nursing care for children and their families should consider assessing spiritual needs and identifying interventions that help patients and families achieve spiritual comfort, such as the use of therapeutic listening and facilitated access to the practice of religious rites and rituals according to beliefs. |

Systematic review |
Not specified |
Anxiety is one of the predominant feelings in patients undergoing surgery, which directly impacts the care provided. Nursing should act through actions that guide patients and are capable of mitigating the emotional burden. The review recognized the importance of family support and interaction with support groups to reduce anxiety. |

Integrative review |
Not specified |
The review identified the psychological, social and physical manifestations related to perioperative care in adolescents. It indicated their desire to obtain information about the surgery and to be leading actors in their care, in addition to involving their parents in this process. It highlighted the need to expand studies on the subject. |

Qualitative-quantitative study |
10-19 |
Adolescents waited for surgery in the corridor of the surgical center, which negatively impacted their experience. They complained of embarrassment due to the surgical attire used, and more than half of participants classified the surgical procedure as unpleasant. The study indicated that the attire should be readjusted and that it is essential for nurses to assist adolescents through contact prior to surgery to understand patients’ needs. |

The study developed a perioperative anxiety prevention system called 3P2A following the first phase of the Medical Research Council’s complex interventions model. Reviews and original research were conducted, such as case studies and qualitative assessments that addressed: adolescents’ perception of the perioperative period; nurses’ performance aimed at adolescents; and the use of non-pharmacological interventions such as Integrative and Complementary Practices as a way to reduce adolescent anxiety. From this, a model was created to be applied in the pre-, trans-, and post-operative periods to be tested in future research. |

Systematic literature review with a quantitative approach |
11 to 15 years |
Guided imagery, relaxation training, and music therapy were shown to be tools for reducing anxiety in adolescents preparing for surgery. The results support the need for nurses to be trained to provide individually tailored information to adolescents, and it is imperative that healthcare disciplines collaborate to design effective perioperative education programs. |

Project Methodology. |
Not specified |
The lack of structure to receive parents/significant others is a gap in perioperative care, in addition to the lack of knowledge of this right or the presence of fears/concern about entering the service. The presence of parents/significant others increases parental satisfaction, reduces parental anxiety in the preoperative period and in the waiting room, increases confidence in perioperative care, reduces children’s anxiety and represents a link with the child/young person. |

Having a companion until anesthesia induction gave the companions peace of mind. Patients reported that the presence of a family member was important because they felt safer, calmer and more comfortable. The fact that they could take their favorite toy with them also helped. |
