Abstract:Objective To analyze the factors affecting children crying during electronic nasopharyngoscopy and its influence on electronic nasopharyngoscopy.Methods The factors of crying in 895 children examined in the laryngoscopy room from January to December in 2020 were analyzed, and the influence of crying factors on electronic nasopharyngoscopy was discussed.Results The results indicated that there was no significant difference in crying between the male and female (P = 0.285). There was no significant difference in crying between infant group and pre-school age group (P = 0.437), but there was significant difference in crying between other age groups (P = 0.000). The children crying in parents’ anxiety group (n = 69) was significant more than that in non-anxiety group (n = 753) [78.3% (54) vs 35.3% (266)], and there was significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.000). The children crying in child interaction group (n = 73) was significant more than that in non-interaction group (n = 753) [84.9% (62) vs 35.3% (266)], and there was significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.000). When discussing the influence of crying, it was found that the cases of blocked examination, nosebleed and parental anxiety caused by crying in the pre-school-age group were significantly more than those in the non-crying group, with statistically significant differences (all P = 0.000). There were statistically significant differences in the number of school-age children with blocked examination and nosebleed caused by crying compared with those without crying (P = 0.009 and P = 0.000). In terms of examination time, both nasal and laryngoscopic crying group were longer than non-crying group, with statistically significant differences (all P = 0.000).Conclusion Parent anxiety and the interaction between children have a significant negative impact on the crying proportion before electronic nasopharyngoscope examination in children, and children's crying will increase the risk of epistaxis, reduce the examination fluency, prolong the examination time, and also cause parents' anxiety. The findings of these factors and influences provide a direction for the further optimization of comfort and efficiency of electronic nasopharyngoscopy in children.
