Parental presence during invasive procedures in a Spanish pediatric emergency department: incidence, perspectives, and related anxiety.

Background: Family presence during invasive procedures (IPs) is infrequent in Spanish pediatric emergency departments (PEDs), despite the benefits of family presence.

Objectives: To investigate the proportion of relatives who wish to be present during IP, to determine the percentage of relatives who stayed during IP in our PED, and to evaluate parental anxiety.

Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out in a PED of an urban, tertiary-care university-affiliated hospital in Barcelona (Spain).
