Brief Summary

To measure the degree of preoperative anxiety with the STAIT, APAIS and VAS anxiety scales before and after the preoperative anesthesia evaluation in patients who applied for preoperative anesthesia evaluation for elective surgical procedures and to investigate prospectively the effect of the preoperative anesthesia interview on anxiety and to evaluate patient satisfaction.

Conditions

Preoperative Evaluation; Preoperative Anxiety; STAI; Visual Analogy Scala; Patient Satisfaction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Anxiety scales (State- Trait Anxiety Inventory , Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale , Visuel Analog Skala )

  To measure the degree of preoperative anxiety in adult patients admitted to our anesthesia clinic using the STAIT, APAIS and VAS anxiety scales before and after preoperative anesthesia evaluation and to prospectively investigate the effect of the preoperative anesthesia interview on anxiety and to evaluate patient satisfaction.The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (range 0-100 mm) is an alternative scale used in the assessment of anxiety, consisting of a 100 mm line; zero on the left indicates no anxiety, while 100 mm on the right indicates extreme anxiety. In the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), patients with a score of 45 and above will be considered highly anxious (mild ≤39, moderate = 40-45, severe ≥46). In the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS), patients with an APAIS-A score greater than 10 will be considered highly anxious. Patients with an APAIS-B score of 5 and above will be considered to have a need for information.
