“…In the study, STAI was used to rate the levels of state anxiety, and Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) was applied to measure the levels of preoperative anxiety (including anesthesia related anxiety and surgery related anxiety) and need-for-information. STAI has been widely used as a standardized tool for assessment of state anxiety in acute settings4546. To date, STAI has been used in more than 1,000 peer-reviewed medical publications46 and has recently been used as a control for other scales4748.…”

The study was to explore whether auricular acupressure (AA) can relieve anxiety during the period from trans-vaginal oocyte retrieval to the embryo transfer in IVF treatment and whether AA can improve the outcomes of IVF. 305 infertile patients with tubal blockage who were referred for IVF were included. The women were randomized into a control group with 102 cases, a Sham-AA group with 102 cases and an AA group with 101 cases. The anxiety levels were rated with Spielberger's State Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale. Data of clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), implantation rate (IR) and live birth rate (LBR) were obtained. The levels of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) in the follicular fluids were detected with ELISA. After treatment, in AA group, the levels of state anxiety, preoperative anxiety and need-for-information were significantly lower, whereas CPR, IR, LBR and NPY levels in the follicular fluids were markedly higher than Sham-AA group and control group. We concluded that AA could help to reduce anxiety levels associated with IVF and improves the outcomes of IVF partly through increasing the levels of NPY in the follicular fluids.

“…Often, in the literature, studies relate dental anxiety to gender (Garip, Abalı, Göker, Göktürk, & Garip, 2004;Hu et al, 2007;Kanegane, Penha, Borsatti, & Rocha, 2003;Malvania & Ajithkrishnan, 2011;Muglali & Komerik, 2008;Quteish Taani, 2002;Rosa & Ferreira, 1997;Schuller, Willumsen, & Holst, 2003;Settineri, Tati, & Fanara, 2005;Singh, de Moraes, & Ambrosano, 2000;Udoye et al, 2005), age (Malvania & Ajithkrishnan, 2011;Thomson, Stewart, Carter, & Spencer, 1996;Yuan et al, 2008) and educational levels (Chaves et al, 2006;Malvania & Ajithkrishnan, 2011;Maniglia-Ferreira et al, 2004;Rosa & Ferreira, 1997), however, in this study's sample these characteristics were not good predictors of dental anxiety (Figure 1). Thus, other variables should be considered in the model and, for that, exploratory studies should be initially performed, in order to identify the specific social and/or behavioural characteristics that may be related to the theoretical construct of anxiety.…”

Aim: To estimate the reliability and validity of the Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) and identify the prevalence and the effect of the socio-demographic characteristics of dental anxiety, in a sample of 212 adults. Methods: The psychometric sensitivity of the scale was assessed. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and the convergent validity and internal consistency were determined. The prevalence of anxiety was estimated, and the effect of socio-demographic variables on anxiety was assessed using structural equation modelling. Results: The participants' mean age was 33.5 (SD = 15.6) years, and 62.3% were female. There was an adequate factorial adjustment of the scale in this sample. The convergent validity and internal consistency were adequate in the one-factor model. Regarding two-factor model, there was a high correlation (r) among the factors, which jeopardized the discriminant validity. A total of 47.6% of the participants (IC 95% = 40.9 -54.4) presented low levels of anxiety, 32.5% (IC 95% = 26.2 -38.9) moderate levels, and 12.3% (IC 95% = 7.8 -16.7) exacerbated levels. There was a non-significant effect of gender, age and education on the anxiety levels of this sample. Conclusion: We concluded that the one-factor model presented better psychometric qualities, that anxiety was highly prevalent and there was no significant effect of the demographic variables on anxiety, in this sample.

“…[1316] Although many local studies have used APAIS, there are several studies noting that it is not appropriate for use in the Turkish population. [121617] We used APAIS in our study as we wanted to determine the effect of information desire when patients used internet as their source of information and APAIS was, therefore, the most appropriate to use.…”

Background:Preoperative anxiety may lead to peroperative or postoperative problems when not overcome.Aims:The aim of this study was to examine the effect of seeking information and other factors on the anxiety of patients preoperatively.Settings and Design:This study was a prospective, multicentered survey.Materials and Methods:Patients scheduled to undergo surgical procedures under spinal anesthesia, preoperatively evaluated as the American Society of Anesthesia 1–3 and where spinal anesthesia was agreed on beforehand, were included. Patients completed State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale-State (STAI-S) survey preoperatively. Patients who sought information were also asked to complete the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale survey.Statistical Analysis:Quantitative data were compared with one-way ANOVA with post hoc analysis or Kruskal–Wallis test. Comparison of two groups of parameters showing normal distribution was compared using Student's t-test. Comparison of groups versus anxiety was performed using Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests.Results:A total of 330 patients were included. Average STAI-S scores were similar when evaluated for patients’ demographic data, gender, marital status, place of residence, type of operation, preoperative fasting time, and comorbidities. University graduates were found to have lower anxiety when compared to other educational statuses. Seeking information from the internet caused a significant decrease in surgical anxiety (P < 0.05) although it had no effect on anesthesia-related anxiety. Interestingly, those seeking information had higher information desire levels compared to patients who had not sought other sources of information (P < 0.05).Conclusion:While patients seeking information regarding surgical procedure and/or spinal anesthesia have lower preoperative anxiety levels, their information desire remains high. Apart from detailed information given by the anesthesiologist or surgeon, having access to correct and validated information in multimedia form may decrease anxiety and information desire.
