Abstract The study aimed to assess how audio-assisted guided imagery using storytelling could influence the anxiety levels of male children, aged 7 to 12, who were set to undergo circumcision. The study utilized a randomized controlled trial design, in which participants were randomly assigned to either control or experimental group. A total of 60 male pediatric participants were selected and randomly assigned to control or experimental group. Parental consent and child assent were obtained to ensure ethical and voluntary participation. The participants were divided into two groups, with 30 children assigned to the experimental group and 30 to the control group. The experimental group received usual pre-operative care along with the audio-assisted storytelling intervention. The control group, on the other hand, received only standard management. To evaluate anxiety levels before and after circumcision, the6-Visual Facial Anxiety Scale (6-VFAS) was used as a self-report tool to interpret anxiety through facial expression cues. Results showed that although both groups experienced a reduction in anxiety after the procedure, the decrease was greater and more consistent among those who received the audio-assisted storytelling. Participants in the control group showed only a minimal decrease, with some still exhibiting moderate distress, while those in the experimental group demonstrated a noticeable and significant reduction. These findings suggest that incorporating audio-assisted storytelling into routine care is more effective in reducing post-operative anxiety among pediatric patients undergoing circumcision.
