Detailed description

Approval from Ethical Committee of Faculty of Medicine University of Indonesia was acquired prior conducting the study. Subjects were given informed consent before enrolling the study. Subjects identification was done using identification form, medical record, Mini Mental State Evaluation (MMSE) and Internal Classification of Diseases (ICD) 10. Subjects' anxiety level were measured using Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) with the help of the researcher to explain the questions. Then, education were given to the subjects, guided by a flow chart made by the researcher, using verbal and emphatic non-verbal language. If during education subjects got anxious with or without cardiovascular emergencies, education would be stopped, subjects would be eased down. Subject's family would be called in. If the subjects agreed to continue, the study would be carried on, otherwise subjects were dropped out. Benzodiazepin and midazolam 0.5 mg/kgBW would be considered and consulted to a psychiatrist. On the day after the education and discussion, subjects filled in APAIS again before entering the operation room. APAIS score recorded before and after anesthesia would be presented in the means, and analyzed by SPSS using paired T-test (or Wilcoxon test as the alternative test).
