Methods: The research method in this study uses a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach.

The Spearman Rank test show a significant relationship between the length of operation time and the anxiety of the families of elective surgery patients for pediatric surgery patients at the Central Surgery Installation of RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang (p-value 0.000; r: 0.841). Conclusion: The long duration of surgery causes parents to worry because they think about the complexity of the surgical procedure and the increased risk of surgery for the child.
