Study population: Children who are planned to undergo surgery under general anesthesia due to inguinal area pathology

Brief summary: The aim of this prospective study is to investigate whether the anxiety levels of parents of children aged 2-6 years who will undergo inguinal area surgery have an effect on the child\&#39;s preoperative anxiety level and postoperative pain level.

Detailed description: Hospitalization of children for any health problem or treatment is a complex and difficult process that negatively affects the child and his family and creates stress. Surgical treatment in children can be planned or unplanned, minor or major, invasive or non-invasive, but every type of surgery is considered a stressful experience. Studies have shown that by controlling the anxiety and fear experienced in the preoperative period, children can achieve faster recovery in the postoperative period, better pain tolerance and earlier discharge. For this reason, we aim to contribute to the literature by investigating whether the anxiety levels of the parents of children aged 2-6 who will undergo inguinal area surgery affect the child\&#39;s preoperative anxiety level and postoperative pain level.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* The child is between the ages of 2-6
* Patients scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia due to inguinal area pathology
* Surgery performed as planned
* There is no mental or neurological disorder in both the mother and the child.
* There are no vision, hearing or speech problems in both the mother and the child.
* Parents and children who volunteer to participate in the research
* Children with ASA I

Exclusion Criteria:

* Not volunteering to participate in the study (those for whom parental consent cannot be obtained)
* Those who underwent surgery with a pathology other than the inguinal area
* Having emergency surgery
* Children at risk with ASA 2 and above
* Having a pathology that may cause difficulty in communicating with both the family and the child (such as mental retardation, neurological problem).
