Abstract

Childhood is the most vulnerable time for anxiety syndrome since anxiety syndrome will continue to adolescent, and 15-20% can cause trauma, decreased school performance, turnover of mental health disorders such as depression and early treatment due to psychiatric disorders. About 8% of children in the United States experience anxiety, and2/3 anxiety disorders were caused by hospitalization. This type of research was observational analytic with cross sectional method. The population in this study were 460 people, with sampling using purposive sampling as many as 173 children aged 2-5 years who were treated in Yogyakarta hospitals. The analysis showed that among 173 respondents underwent hospitalization, and 60 people (34.7%) with hospitalization ≤ 3 days experienced moderate anxiety. Bivariate test results found that there was a correlation among hospitalization (p value = 0.037), experience (p value = 0.049), age (0.023) and anxiety in children. Among five variables (hospitalization, salary, age of the child, experience, sex of the child) which hadbeen conducted a logical regression analysis, it was found that the variables that were at risk of affecting child anxiety were the parent’s salary (OR = 2.258, CI = 1.18-4,391) and the children’s age (OR = 2.063, CI = 1.083-3.931). Based on the result of the study, it can be concluded that children who undergo hospitalization can experience anxiety, meanwhile parent’s salary and the child’s age are at risk of increasing anxiety in children aged 2-5 years when undergoing hospitalization. Hence, it is necessary to have an SOP, especially in child care in terms of psychological aspects, and health workers need to provide education about the effects of anxiety on children.
