Abstract: Anxiety is one of the most prevalent preoperative problems in children. It is estimated that approximately 50%–70% of children undergoing surgery experience severe anxiety and distress prior to surgery.

Thus, interventions to reduce preoperative anxiety are important for children and families. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of play therapy on reducing one day surgery preoperative anxiety among children at Assiut University Children Hospital. A quazi-experimental research design was used for this study. Setting: This study was conducted in the surgical unit at Assiut University Children's Hospital.
