To assess the effect of face-to-face education on anxiety and pain in children withminor extremity injuries undergoing outpatient suturing. Methods: Children in interventionand control groups received face-to-face education (10 minutes) and no specific education,respectively. The anxiety and pain was measured using Modified-Yale Preoperative AnxietyScale, and pain by Faces Pain Scale–Revised, respectively in 3 stages viz, pre-procedureand pre-intervention, post-procedure. Results: Children in the intervention group were lessanxious than the control at pre-procedure and post-intervention stage (41.1 (13.8) vs. 46.3(19.1), respectively, P=0.03) and post-procedure and post-intervention stage (32.3 (17.2) vs.40.2 (12.9), respectively, P=0.01). Children in the intervention group experienced less painthan the control at pre-procedure and post-intervention stage (3.9 (3.8) vs. 4.9 (3.1),respectively, P<0.001) and post-procedure and post-intervention stage (3.1 (1.2) vs. 4.0 (2.1),respectively, P=0.001). Conclusions: Face-to-face education could reduce anxiety and painin children undergoing suturing in the emergency department
