Brief Summary

This randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative education on anxiety levels in patients undergoing abdominal surgery at a training hospital in Istanbul. The study population included patients admitted between January and June 2024. After power analysis, patients were divided into experimental (n=40) and control (n=41) groups. The experimental group received preoperative information, while the control group received standard care. Anxiety levels were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Data were analyzed with SPSS, using tests such as the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon Sign tests.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• STAI Form TX I,STAI Form TX II

  In the scoring of both scales, the total score of reversed statements is subtracted from the total score obtained from direct statements, and 50 points are added as a fixed value for STAI TX-I and 35 points for STAI TX-II. The score obtained as a result of this calculation is the individual's anxiety score. The scores obtained from both scales theoretically vary between 20 and 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety, while a low score indicates a low level of anxiety. The STAI TX-I threshold is 39-40 points. Mild anxiety is between 20-31 points, moderate anxiety is between 32-42 points, and anxiety is above 42-44 points. Since it shows how the person feels at that moment, regardless of the situation and conditions they are in, the threshold is accepted as 44-45 points in patients in the pre-operative period. A score between 40-59 points is considered moderate, and a score between 60-80 points is considered high.
