This research used a qualitative method of inquiry to explore parents\u2019 experience of their child's treatment under GA, and their perception of the impact of this treatment on their child.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The participants were parents whose children had recently undergone dental rehabilitation under GA. Data was collected by semistructured, open\u2010ended interviews scheduled at the postoperative appointment. Interviews were audio\u2010taped, transcribed, checked and coded into a qualitative computer software program for analysis. Data collection and analysis were done simultaneously, and the interview guide was modified based on responses.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Parents were troubled that their child needed a GA and appeared aware of the complications. While some parents felt \u2018guilty\u2019 and struggled to accept this mode of treatment for their child, others felt \u2018blameless\u2019, and were convinced that the GA was \u2018preferable\u2019 for their child and superior to conventional treatment. Nonetheless, all parents reported some levels of anxiety during the GA; they expressed their emotions with \u2018fear\u2019, \u2018worry\u2019 and \u2018concern\u2019. After the GA, improvement was reported by most parents in their child's amount of dental pain, sleeping pattern, eating habits and acceptance of parental toothbrushing. The most common changes in their child's behaviour mentioned by parents were increased toothbrushing and decreased consumption of sugary foods. Several children who had had primary teeth extracted were distressed as a result of this \u2018loss\u2019.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The general anaesthetic experience was troubling in a variety of ways for both parents and children. However, an \u2018early\u2019 and positive outcome of the GA was a reported improvement in dental health practices. Parents were more positive about maintaining the health of primary teeth and now knew how to take care of their child's teeth. Future exploration is required to reveal if and how the GA experience will affect long\u2010term preventive behaviours.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-263x.2006.00750.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,30]],"date-time":"2006-06-30T07:53:11Z","timestamp":1151653991000},"page":"309-319","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["A qualitative look at parents' experience of their child's dental general anaesthesia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"M.
