Brief Summary

In patient education, the amount of information that is not proper with the individual patient, such as too much or too little, can increase anxiety to patient. Needs-based patient education has been developed to determine the proper amount of information and provide the education based on patient needs. This study aims to compare needs-based patient education to traditional patient education in how they affect preoperative anxiety and patient satisfaction.
