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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old who are scheduled for elective cardiac surgery and can provide informed consent.
Not a fit: Patients undergoing emergency cardiac surgery or those with psychiatric disorders or cognitive impairments may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management of preoperative anxiety in cardiac surgery patients, enhancing their overall surgical experience.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on preoperative anxiety, this specific evaluation of admission day effects is novel and has not been extensively tested.
