“…When compared to the ward or the operating room, patients may be more anxious in the pre-operative holding area. 3,4,5 The STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Questionnaire) is the gold standard in terms of anxiety measuring methods.

Introduction: The possibility of undergoing anesthesia-assisted surgery can cause a great deal of anxiety in individuals. Excessive anxiety can have a number of negative consequences, including perioperative cardiac events, greater anesthetic needs, higher postoperative pain ratings, and a longer stay in the hospital. Anxiety levels during surgery might be influenced by a variety of reasons. The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of anxiety in adult patients scheduled for Surgery. Methods: This is Cross-sectional Descriptive Study conducted in Nepal police hospital with calculated sample size of 92 with round figure of 100, convenient sampling technique was used. Descriptive analysis was used for Analysis. Results: Prevalence of anxiety in preoperative patient was 31%. The prevalence in male patients and female patients were 21.2% and 39.5% respectively. Conclusions: When compared to many other research, the general prevalence of anxiety at Nepal Police Hospital was lower; nevertheless, the incidence was higher among female patients.

“…The parameters used to assess discomfort were as follows: hunger, thirst, dry mouth, fatigue, headache, nausea using a single point NRS; 0 = no suffer to 10 = worst suffer imaginable 43 . We investigated preoperative anxiety using the Korean version of Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) 44,45 . APAIS is a useful tool to evaluate preoperative stress and anxiety, which consists of an anxiety scale and a need for information scale.…”

Although previous studies reported that chewing gum during the preoperative fasting has the benefits of alleviating anxiety and dry mouth, preoperative chewing gum has yet to be accepted as a standard practice due to conventional anesthetic custom. Our study aimed to prospectively evaluate the effects of gum chewing on preoperative anxiety and patient’s discomfort in female patients undergoing gynecologic surgery. Ninety-three patients were enrolled and randomized either into conventional fasting group (control group) or chewing gum with fasting group (gum group). The control group was instructed to fast from 3 p.m on the day before surgery. The gum group performed preoperative fasting in the same manner, but was encouraged to chew gum freely during the fasting period. The primary endpoints were the degree of preoperative anxiety and discomfort immediately before surgery. For the evaluation of preoperative anxiety, Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale (APAIS) was used. Preoperative gastric fluid volume and acidity were also measured as the secondary outcomes. Preoperative anxiety using APAIS was significantly lower in the gum group compared to the control group (17.8 vs. 20.9, p = 0.009). The APAIS sub-score of anxiety and information desire domain were also lower in the gum group. However, there was no significant difference in the gastric fluid analysis between the groups. In the female patients for elective gynecologic surgery, chewing gum during the preoperative fasting period helped to alleviate preoperative anxiety without additional increase of pulmonary aspiration risks.

Purpose Surgery is the primary curative treatment for colorectal cancer; however, it remains a frightening procedure that can cause stress and pain in affected patients. Therefore, patients typically experience significant anxiety during the preoperative period, which has been associated with poorer outcome after surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an Internet-based informational video on preoperative anxiety level in patients with colorectal cancer. Methods This prospective, single-arm, observational study included patients scheduled to undergo elective colorectal cancer surgery, who did not have a history of previous surgery or major cognitive impairment. The primary outcome measure was the change in Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale - Anxiety (APAIS-A) before and after watching a 5-min informational video ( https://youtu.be/VzhtOMPUe4Q ) during the preoperative period. Secondary outcome measures were the change in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), length of postoperative hospital day, and postoperative morbidity. Results Thirty-two patients were enrolled. Anxiety was significantly decreased after watching the video (APAIS-A score: from 10.8 ± 3.7 to 8.2 ± 3.2, P < 0.001, mean reduction: 22.2%). HADS score was also significantly decreased (from 5.8 ± 4.4 to 4.0 ± 3.3, P = 0.001, mean reduction: 26.5%). All preoperative anxiety level did not significantly differ between patients who developed postoperative complication and those who did not. Conclusion The informational video was an effective tool to reduce preoperative anxiety. Viewing this video may confer a higher level of confidence and realistic expectations, as well as reducing patients' preoperative anxiety.
