At one center, the parents accompanied the infants during the ROP examination (Group 1), and in the other center, they did not (Group 2). Anxiety levels were assessed with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), which consists of the State Anxiety (STAI-S) and Trait Anxiety (STAI-T) subscales and a visual analog scale (VAS).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 147 parents of 127 infants were included in the study. STAI-T and -S levels were 40.5 \u00b1 8 and 37.9 \u00b1 7.5, respectively, in Group 1 and 39.6 \u00b1 8.1 and 39.4 \u00b1 9.1 in Group 2 before the examination. There were no statistically significant differences in terms of these values between the two groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05). The state anxiety levels increased by an average of 1.7 \u00b1 8 in Group 1 and reached 39.6 \u00b1 10.1 after the examination. In Group 2, these levels decreased by an average of \u2212 2.7 \u00b1 7.5 points to a score of 36.4 \u00b1 10.3. This difference was found to be statistically significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001). A similar pattern was observed in the evaluation of the VAS data.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n As a preliminary opinion, it may be more appropriate for parents to not participate in screening examinations, but single-center controlled studies are required to confirm the results.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.ijo_2707_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,2]],"date-time":"2021-08-02T10:22:48Z","timestamp":1627899768000},"page":"2134-2140","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Should parents be present during screening examinations for retinopathy of prematurity?"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Caner","family":"Kara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Etlik Z\u00fcbeyde Hanim Women\u2019s Health Education and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00d6zdemir","family":"\u00d6zdemir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u0130kbal S","family":"Petri\u00e7li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Etlik Z\u00fcbeyde Hanim Women\u2019s Health Education and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Damla E","family":"Acar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zuhal \u00d6","family":"Tunay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1-20240828","first-page":"227","article-title":"Childhood blindness in the context of vision 2020--The right to sight","volume":"79","author":"Gilbert","year":"2001","journal-title":"Bull World Health Organ"},{"key":"B2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1097\/00005237-200601000-00029","article-title":"Family-centered care in the nicu","volume":"20","author":"Griffin","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Perinat Neonatal Nurs"},{"key":"B3-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1097\/00002508-200503000-00004","article-title":"Parents'views about infant pain in neonatal intensive care","volume":"21","author":"Franck","year":"2005","journal-title":"Clin J Pain"},{"key":"B5-20240828","author":"i\u00d6ner","year":"1985","journal-title":"Durumluk-s\u00fcrekli kayg\u0131envanteri el kitab\u0131.
