Abstract

Objective: The study aims to determine the prevalance and level of anxiety of young parents before congenital heart surgery and some related factors at Hanoi Heart Hospital. Method: Cross-sectional study design on 252 parents of children under 16 years old diagnosed with congenital heart disease with surgery indications at Hanoi Heart Hospital from September 2023 to September 2024. Parents' anxiety was measured by the Vietnamese version of The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) anxiety scale consisting of 20 questions. Results: The average age of the group of parents participating in this study was 32.1 years old; the rate of mothers participating in child care was higher than that of fathers (59.5% vs. 40.5%). The majority of parents participating in the study had a high school education level (36.9%) and were self-employed (44.4%). The overall rate of parental anxiety within 24 hours before the child's surgery was 56.7%. Logistic regression models analyzing the association between parental characteristics and anxiety showed that: the group of parents with less than high school education had a 2.7 times higher risk of anxiety than the group of parents with high school education or higher (aOR=2.7; 95% CI: 1.24 - 6.04); the group of parents whose children were hospitalized for the first time had a 3.6 times higher risk of anxiety than the group of parents whose children had been hospitalized for inpatient treatment 2 or more times (aOR=3.6; 95% CI: 1.48 - 8.75); Parents with high anxiety personality traits were 5 times more likely to be anxious before their child's surgery than parents with low or no anxiety personality traits (aOR=0.2; 95% CI: 0.08-0.31). Conclusion: Most young parents were anxious before their child had congenital heart surgery.
