研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this observational study is to understand how fear and anxiety felt by anesthesia-naive patients compares before versus after their scheduled surgery. Patients who are scheduled to undergo a low-risk surgery/procedure and have never had anesthesia before will be asked to:
- Fill out a survey before their surgery in the perioperative setting
- Answer follow-up questions over the phone a few days after their surgery.
详细描述
Patients that fit the inclusion/exclusion criteria and consent to the study will fill out a paper survey that is an adapted version of the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) along with additional questions related to anesthesia anxiety for secondary analysis. 7 days (+/-72 hours) after the patient's surgery, they will complete a follow-up survey over the phone that is an adapted version of the APAIS. Results will be recorded on paper and then uploaded into REDCap for data analysis.

结局指标
主要结局
Differences in anxiety scale scores pre- and post-operatively in anesthesia-naïve patients
时间窗: From enrollment until 7 days (+/-72 hours) post-operative
Participants will be given 2 scores based on their pre-operative survey and their post-operative survey. The change in anxiety score will be evaluated.
次要结局
- Determining if there is an association between a pre-operative desire for information related to anesthesia and the post-operative reality of the individual subject's anesthesia experience.(From enrollment until 7 days (+/-71 hours) post-operative)
- Comparing the frequency of specific fears of events pre-operatively versus the post-operative reality of the individual subject's anesthesia experience.(From enrollment until 7 days (+/-71 hours) post-operative)
