• FAMILY‐CENTERED CARE has become a popular topic in pediatric nursing and, therefore, is becoming an important part of both nursing anesthesia and perioperative nursing. • CURRENTLY, FEW HOSPITALS involve parents in pediatric surgery, even though the presence of a parent for pediatric anesthesia induction is strongly supported in the literature. • THIS ARTICLE REVIEWS the literature regarding the effect on children and parents of parental presence during induction of pediatric anesthesia. Suggestions for appropriate parent‐preparation techniques also are provided. AORN J 81 (April 2005) 780–792.
