简要总结
This study aims to assess the fundamental knowledge and concerns regarding anaesthesia among patients undergoing surgical procedures. Anaesthesia related anxiety and misconceptions are common and may influence patient cooperation and perioperative experience.
This is a single arm observational study conducted at a tertiary care hospital. Adult patients scheduled for elective surgery and willing to participate will be included after obtaining informed consent. Data will be collected using a structured and prevalidated questionnaire assessing awareness about types of anaesthesia, role of anaesthesiologist, perceived risks, and common concerns related to anaesthesia.
The responses will be analyzed using descriptive statistical methods to identify knowledge gaps and prevalent concerns among patients. The findings of this study may help in planning targeted preanaesthetic counselling strategies to improve patient understanding, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall perioperative care.
