At our institute, where patients of multiple ethnic groups, speaking different languages coexist. We hypothesize that diverse beliefs will influence the experience a parent has in Operation Theatre regarding PPIA. Furthermore, the results of this study may help form policies guiding PPIA at our institution and may be relevant to other institution in oour country.in this study we will take consent of childrens parents between 2 to 8 years posted for elective surgeries.ocess of we will take parents inside along with patient they are gonna witness entire process of induction of anesthesia. we will conduct interviews of parents within 24 hours of post induction of anesthesia regarding presnce at induction of anesthesia and we willl note their experience.
