Summary

This randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative education on anxiety levels in patients undergoing abdominal surgery at a training hospital in Istanbul. The study population included patients admitted between January and June 2024. After power analysis, patients were divided into experimental (n=40) and control (n=41) groups. The experimental group received preoperative information, while the control group received standard care. Anxiety levels were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Data were analyzed with SPSS, using tests such as the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon Sign tests.

Detailed description

As a result of this study, the anxiety levels of patients who received preoperative information training in the prevention or reduction of anxiety were found to be lower than patients who received routine care. The lower score indicated that they experienced less anxiety or were able to manage their anxiety in the experimental group.
