Evaluating preoperative anxiety levels in cardiac surgery patients based on admission day

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the impact of the day of admission (either the day before surgery or the day of surgery) on preoperative anxiety levels in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. Utilizing the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS), the study will involve 400 patients divided into two groups: those admitted one day prior to surgery and those admitted on the day of surgery. Participants will complete a questionnaire upon admission and just before entering the operating room to measure their anxiety levels. The findings may help identify factors that can be modified to enhance patient care and reduce anxiety.
