Anxiety ; children with syncope

Sažetak
Background: The aim of this study was to examine the different aspects of anxiety symptoms in healthy children and children with syncope. Methods: The sample consisted of 75 schoolchildren: 33 patients with syncope and 42 healthy children. One questionnaire was used: The Fear and Anxiety Scale containing 61 items, categorized in 7 subscales. Statistical analyses included: descriptive statistics and t-tests for independent samples. Findings: Results show that children with syncope (t= 5, 50, p<0, 01) suffer from more anxiety problems than healthy controls. The largest difference between children with syncope and healthy controls is on the Worry scale, where children with syncope reported more problems. Discussion: The given results suggest that helping children with syncope to control anxiety feelings has great significance for psychological therapy and prevention in pediatric care.
