“…BAI and BDI are rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3, and the total scores range from 0 to 63. BAI score is interpreted to indicate minimal or no anxiety (range 0-9), mild anxiety (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18), moderate anxiety (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29) and severe anxiety (30-63). BAI was developed as a measure for dividing between anxiety and depression.…”

“…7 BDI developed by Beck et al, is a 21-item self-reporting questionnaire for evaluating the severity of depression of an individual. 8 The BDI score is classified into minimal depression (range 0-13), mild depression (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19), moderate depression (20-28) and severe depression (29-63). 9 The questionnaire used in this study was validated previously by Hisli.…”

The maternal anxiety associated with cesarean delivery is important issue. We aimed to assess whether the preoperative anxiety level of obstetric patients undergoing an elective caesarean section has an effect on their decision regarding the choice of anesthesia. Material and Method:This study included 138 patients who were scheduled for elective cesarean section. The anesthesia type was chosen by patients. Patients were divided into two groups according to their choice: general anesthesia group (n=63) and spinal anesthesia group (n=75). Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) questionnaires were completed to measure participants' psychological state. Patients were then assessed preoperatively, and demographic information was recorded. Results:The BAI and PCS scores were significantly higher in the general anesthesia group according to the spinal anesthesia group (p<0.05). There was no difference between the two groups according to BDI (p>0.05). Conclusion:Anxiety score was found high in patients who preferred general anesthesia. In these patients, anxiety-related measures (preoperative and postoperative period) should be taken.

“…The SAI scale is scored between 20 and 80 points, where higher scores indicate a higher level of anxiety. The SAI is widely used to assess anxiety in pregnancy, and their validity and reliability have been demonstrated (1). In the evaluation of the scale score, 40 points was considered the threshold value, as is common in the literature (1), scores below 40 were classified as 'low to moderate' anxiety, and scores above 40 were classified as 'high' anxiety.…”

Objective: There is a relationship between ABO blood groups, which are part of the genetic phenotype, and various psychiatric diseases. Our primer aim in this study is to examine the relationship between ABO blood groups and preoperative anxiety (POA) levels in patients undergoing elective cesarean section. The secondary aim is to determine the relationship between POA levels and birth outcomes in pregnant women. Material and Method: A total of 132 patients with different ABO blood groups who were scheduled for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia between August 2020 and July 2021 at the Medical Faculty Hospital were included in this prospective observational study. State Anxiety Inventory scores (SAI) were used to assess preoperative anxiety in groups A, B, AB, and O. Birth outcomes (fetal birth weight, birth sex and APGAR scores at the 1st and 5th minutes) were recorded. Results: There were 55 people (41.7%) in the A blood group, 43 people (32.6%) in the O blood group, 25 people (18.9%) in the B blood group, 9 people (6.8%) in the AB blood group. A total of 73/132 (55.3%) patients with SAI score >40 were identified. There was no significant difference in mean SAI scores in A, B, AB and O blood groups (p=0.531). Fetal birth weight was found to be lower in patients with high SAI scores (p=0.044). Conclusion: There was no relationship between ABO blood groups and preoperative anxiety and birth outcomes in elective cesarean sections under spinal anesthesia, but low fetal birth weight was found in pregnant women with high anxiety. More studies with larger sample sizes in the future are needed to confirm the results of our study.
