Healthcare Provider Behavior and Children's Perioperative Distress
NCT01878747 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this randomized trial is to examine the effectiveness of a Provider Tailored Intervention for Perioperative Stress (P-TIPS) in preventing high anxiety and improving the recovery process in children undergoing surgery. Four hospitals and all Healthcare Providers (HCP) in it will be randomized to either a P-TIPS Group, who will receive the newly developed intervention, or a Control Group who will receive a 2-hour seminar on the management of preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain and otherwise will provide standard care. The aims of this study are to: PRIMARY AIM 1\. Determine if P-TIPS is more effective than standard care for preventing high preoperative anxiety among children undergoing anesthesia and surgery. The primary outcome will be observational anxiety in the operating room settings as measured by m-YPAS (modified-Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale). SECONDARY AIMS 1. Examine the impact of P-TIPS on surgical recovery parameters such as postoperative pain, recovery room stay, nausea and vomiting, emergence delirium and maladaptive behavioral changes as measured by the PAED, and PHBQ 2. Determine if the use of P-TIPS results in higher satisfaction and lower anxiety scores in the parents.as measured by the STAIs, STAIt and Parent Satisfaction questionnaires 3. Determine if HCP in P-TIPS group display more desired behaviors and less undesired behaviors as compared to control group and whether these behaviors mediate the child and parent-level outcomes.These behaviors will be measured using the m-PCAMPIS

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01878747
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01878747 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 1,471 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of California, Irvine, which has 353 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Pain, Postoperative appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Provider Tailored Intervention for Perioperative Stress is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01878747 reports 6 study locations spanning 4 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include California, Colorado, Georgia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
