结局指标
主要结局
Visual Facial Anxiety Scale
时间窗: At baseline and immediately before entering the operating room on the day of the surgery
The 6 item Visual Facial Anxiety Scale (VFAS) is an emoji based tool used to measure preoperative anxiety. It utilizes 6 emoji faces that reflect levels of anxiety from none to high (corresponding to 0-10 scale, with 0 being no anxiety and 10 being the highest anxiety). . The surveys are completed in the TJR education class, before listening to the guided imagery and positive affirmations, and after listening to positive affirmations, which is done in the preop area immediately before entering the operating room the day of surgery. The completion of the scale takes approximately 7-8 secs. Listening to the guided imagery and positive affirmation recordings takes 23:26 minutes, and listening to the positive affirmations on the day of surgery takes 3:11 minutes.
