Trait anxiety was a strong factor positively affecting the perioperative state anxiety. In addition, paediatric patient anxiety before surgery was related to their parents' anxiety, and, after surgery, this was associated with high preoperative anxiety, pain and age. The parents' anxiety before surgery was influenced by gender and the type of postoperative analgesia in the patients, while, after surgery, this was influenced by the patients' preoperative anxiety/gender.
