The state anxiety score was lower significantly in the study group prior to surgery than in the control group (P=0.001). While, The mean and standard deviation of the state anxiety scores of mothers in study and control groups before intervention were 41.8 +/- 3.11 and 42.23 +/- 3,12, after intervention 36.8 +/- 2.19 and 43.8 +/- 3.17 respectively. The state anxiety score was lower significantly in the study group prior to surgery than in the control group (P=0.01). The compliance of the children were significantly higher during the induction of anesthesia in the study group as compared with the control groups (65\% vs 33.\%, p=0.001).
