Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to better understand the anxiety of patients before elective surgeries and to investigate which measures for calming are perceived as helpful or pleasant. Adult, German-speaking patients (≥18 years) in the elective surgical setting at UKB are invited to participate. It is planned that at least 400 patients will take part in the survey. The survey is conducted anonymously, voluntarily, and without the collection of personal data. This is a purely observational study without any intervention.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients who come to the premedication outpatient clinic are invited in the waiting area to participate in this anonymous written survey. Participation is voluntary. The survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes. No personal data are collected.

Anxiety is assessed using the State-Trait Operation Anxiety (STOA) and the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) questionnaires.

To address anxiety reduction, various possible measures are listed, and patients are asked to check all the options they consider helpful and appropriate. They are also given the opportunity to add further suggestions that are not included in the list.
