ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Antecedentes: en la Argentina, la especialidad Cirugía General se encuentra en crisis y esta situación alarmante se halla vinculada a las malas condiciones laborales del cirujano general. Objetivo: describir la percepción que el cirujano joven tiene al terminar su programa de formación, en relación con su perspectiva laboral, actividad quirúrgica y académica. Material y métodos: estudio transversal basado en una encuesta dirigida a cirujanos jóvenes en Córdoba, Argentina. Resultados: participaron 53 encuestados. El 58% eran hombres y la mediana de edad fue 32 años. El 72% ejercía Cirugía General y el 55% trabajaba en el sector privado. El 34% pertenecía a la Asociación de Cirugía de Córdoba y el 23% a la Asociación Argentina de Cirugía. En cuanto a la experiencia profesional, el 53,1% eran cirujanos junior y el 64% eran competentes para realizar procedimientos de baja o mediana complejidad. En relación con la perspectiva laboral, el 89% consideró que el cirujano joven no consigue salida laboral rápida y el 96,2% refirió que sus prácticas no eran bien remuneradas. Respecto de la calidad de vida personal y laboral, el 57% manifestó frustración e incertidumbre económica. En cuanto a las cirujanas, la tasa de inequidades de género y hostigamiento sexual en el ámbito laboral fue del 73% y 50%, respectivamente. Conclusión: encontramos la percepción de un bajo nivel de competencia para las cirugías de mayor complejidad y una baja tasa de adherencia a sociedades quirúrgicas. Debido a la escasa oferta laboral existe gran frustración e incertidumbre económica. Actualmente, predomina y persiste el maltrato y hostigamiento hacia las cirujanas.
ABSTRACT Background: In Argentina, the specialty of general surgery is in crisis, and this alarming situation is associated with the poor working conditions of general surgeons. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the perception of young surgeons at the end of their training program, in relation to their job prospects, surgical and academic activity. Material and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study based on a survey responded by young surgeons in Cordoba, Argentina. Results: The survey was responded by 53 young surgeons; 58% were men and median age was 32 years. Seventy-two percent practiced general surgery and 55% worked in the private setting. Thirtyfour percent were members of Asociación de Cirugía de Córdoba and 23% belonged to Asociación Argentina de Cirugía. As for professional experience, 53.1% were junior surgeons and 64% were capable of performing low or medium complexity procedures. Eighty-nine percent considered that young surgeons do not get a job quickly and 96.2% reported that they were not well paid for their practice. When asked about their personal and professional quality of life, 57% expressed frustration and economic uncertainty. Among women surgeons, 73% reported gender inequities and 50% reported sexual harassment in the workplace. Conclusion: Young surgeons perceived they had low level of competencies for high complexity surgical procedures and reported low rate of membership in surgical societies. Most of them feel frustrated due to scarce job opportunities and expressed economic uncertainty. Nowadays, abuse and harassment of women surgeons still prevails and persists.

Los trastornos depresivos y de ansiedad son más frecuentes en pacientes que se encuentran a la espera de un acto anestésico-quirúrgico. Estos se consideran factores de riesgo de complicaciones posoperatorias de allí el interés de detectarlos en la consulta preoperatoria. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la frecuencia de ansiedad y depresión en pacientes pre-quirúrgicos en el Hospital de Clínicas utilizando la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión Hospitalaria (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) validada en español mediante un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal. Se realizó una encuesta a una muestra tomada al azar, de pacientes prequirúrgicos obtenida de la consulta externa o de las consultas provenientes de salas de internación quirúrgica del Hospital de Clínicas entre julio y septiembre de 2019. La prevalencia global de ansiedad y depresión fue de 44% y 14,5%, respectivamente. Un mayor nivel de depresión fue asociado al sexo femenino, no encontrándose asociación entre otras variables como edad, tipo de cirugía u hospitalización, y la mayor frecuencia de cualquiera de los trastornos. Se concluye que los niveles de ansiedad son relativamente elevados y, junto a la depresión, pueden ser detectados en la consulta preoperatoria de manera sencilla utilizando el instrumento propuesto.
The depressive and anxiety disorders are more frequent in patients who are waiting a surgical procedure. These are risk factors of postoperative complications. The objective of this work was to determine the incidence of anxiety and depression in the preoperative period at the University Hospital using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale validated in spanish through an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. A socio-demographic characterization of patients was carried out and aspects related to imminent surgery were described. The study was conducted in a random sample of pre-surgical patients who attended an outpatient clinic or were hospitalized at the Hospital de Clínicas, between July and September 2019. The global incidence of anxiety and depression was 44% and 14.5% respectively. A mayor level of depression was observed in females, no other statistically significant evidence was found to support an association between the other variables (age, type of surgery, hospitalization) and the higher prevalence of any of the disorders. We concluded that the level of anxiety is high in our population and deserves to be detected, through the implementation of a simple instrument.

Introducción: como profesionales de la salud hemos observado distintas conductas en los pacientes pediátricos, sin psicoprofilaxis, que ingresan para ser intervenidos quirúrgicamente de urgencia; pacientes que, según su edad, su entorno social, familiar y cultural, podrán manifestar dichas conductas interpretadas como estrés, de distintas maneras. Objetivo: se midió el estrés prequirúrgico de los niños que fueron intervenidos quirúrgicamente de urgencia, los sábados y domingos por Guardia, en el Hospital de Niños Sor María Ludovica en la ciudad de La Plata. Materiales y métodos: hemos realizado un estudio piloto de diseño observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal, aplicando para la recolección de datos la escala de YALE modificada (EAPY-m). Resultados: reclutamos 16 pacientes, de los cuales 10 fueron varones (62,50%), que ingresaron para ser tratados quirúrgicamente por las especialidades de traumatología y cirugía general en partes iguales. La mediana en edad fue de 7 años y la mediana en escolarización obligatoria de 6 años. Dentro de la muestra obtenida, un 56,25% concurrían a la escuela primaria y el 25% se encontraban en la etapa preescolar. La mitad de los niños tomaron como referente a su madre como la persona que lo calma y que les gustaría que estuviese presente en el momento previo a la cirugía. La conjunción de los resultados obtenidos ha superado los valores referenciales mínimos para la medición del estrés prequirúrgico: un 80% de los niños sufría de estrés prequirúrgico. Conclusiones: el estrés prequirúrgico es un hecho presente en los pacientes pediátricos que han sido incluidos en la realización del estudio, quedando en evidencia que la cirugía es un factor estresante para los niños.

Introduction: As health professionals, we have observed different behaviors in pediatric patients, without psychoprophylaxis, who are admitted for emergency surgery; patients who, according to their age, their social, family and cultural environment may manifest such behaviors interpreted as stress, in different ways. Objective: Therefore, the general objective of our research was to measure the presurgical stress of children who would undergo emergency surgery, on Saturdays and Sundays by guard, at the Sor María Ludovica children's hospital in the city of La Plata. Materials and methods: We have conducted a pilot study of observational, descriptive, cross-sectional design; applying the modified YALE scale (EArPY-m) for data collection. Results: We recruited 16 patients of which 10 were male (62.50%), who were admitted to be treated surgically by the specialties of traumatology and general surgery in equal parts. The median in age was 7 years and the median in compulsory schooling was 6 years. Within the sample obtained 56.25% attended primary school and 25% were in the preschool stage. 50% of the participants indicated that the mother was the one who calms them when they are nervous; while 43.75% was the mother who would like to be present at the time before surgery. The combination of the results obtained has exceeded the minimum reference values for the measurement of presurgical stress, 80% of children suffered from presurgical stress. Conclusions: We conclude that presurgical stress is a fact present in pediatric patients who have been included in the study, making it clear that surgery is a stressful factor for children. (AU)

SUMMARY Surgeons are becoming aware that surgical outcomes are not only based on technical skills. The impact of psychological problems on outcomes must be studied from both the patient's and the health care provider's viewpoint. Psychological problems may affect up to 20% of the population, with almost half of them non-treated. Surgeons have to deal with a significant number of patients with psychological problems, which affect surgical outcomes changing how symptoms, results and side effects are interpreted. Surgeons also face psychological problems at a significant rate. Although there are no studies on the effect of chronic psychological problems of the surgeon on outcomes, in simulated scenarios, acute stress usually leads to worse performance. Some initiatives can be implemented to improve outcomes based on the effect of psychological problems.
RESUMO Os cirurgiões atuais cada vez mais acreditam que o bom resultado das cirurgias não são frutos exclusivos de suas habilidades técnicas. O impacto dos fatores psicológicos nos resultados das cirurgias deve ser estudado do ponto de vista tanto dos pacientes quanto dos profissionais de saúde que os assistem. Os problemas psicológicos afetam mais de 20% da população em geral, sendo que metade destes não recebe qualquer tratamento específico. Assim, os cirurgiões tratam de números cada vez mais significativos de pacientes com problemas psicológicos. Esses problemas psicológicos afetam o resultado, na medida em que alteram a percepção e interpretação dos sintomas, resultados e efeitos colaterais dos procedimentos. Por outro lado, os próprios cirurgiões têm apresentado taxas crescentes de afecções psicológicas. Embora não existam estudos que demonstrem o impacto dos problemas psicológicos crônicos dos cirurgiões na evolução dos pacientes, em cenários simulados, observa-se que o estresse agudo desencadeia um desempenho pior desses profissionais. Concluímos, dessa maneira, que medidas direcionadas à detecção e tratamento dos problemas psicológicos, tanto dos pacientes quanto da equipe de saúde, devam ser implementadas visando melhores resultados cirúrgicos.

O presente trabalho é fruto de uma pesquisa de doutorado para obtenção de dupla titulação realizada entre o Brasil e a França. O estudo foi conduzido a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com homens que haviam se submetido a intervenções médicas, com finalidade estética. Os entrevistados foram encaminhados pelos próprios médicos que realizaram as intervenções após consentimento dos participantes. Durante a realização das entrevistas foi encontrado um sujeito fazendo uso bastante particular de seu corpo. Tal uso suscitou a possibilidade de se tratar de um caso de psicose ordinária, estabilizada a partir da introdução de um termo com função de suplência imaginária à foraclusão do Nome-do-Pai. Assim, este artigo traz a análise dos relatos de um jovem homossexual de vinte e sete anos que realizou uma série de intervenções estéticas no corpo. Do sentimento de estranhamento pelo não reconhecimento da própria imagem no período pregresso à cirurgia de maior impacto uma prótese peitoral masculina até a assunção de um corpo cuja função é de suplência imaginária à foraclusão do Nome-do-Pai o jovem pôde estabilizar-se a partir da organização de uma tripla externalidade reconhecidamente em desordem: social, corporal e subjetiva. Ao final do trabalho reconhece-se a necessidade de novas investigações em torno dos possíveis efeitos clínicos e metapsicológicos decorrentes dos intensos processos de identificações necessários para sua estabilização.(AU)
The present work is the result of a double degree doctorate research carried out among Brazil and France. The study was conducted from semi-structured interviews with men that were submitted to medical interventions with aesthetic purpose. The interviewees were referred by the doctors who performed the interventions after consent of the participants During the accomplishment of the interviews it was detected a subject making a very particular use of his body. Such kind of use has raised the possibility of dealing with a case of ordinary psychosis, stabilized by the introduction of a term with an imaginary supplement function to the foreclosure of the Name-of-the-Father. Hence, this article considers the analysis of the reports of a young homosexual of twenty-seven years old who performed a series of aesthetic interventions in his body. From the feeling of estrangement, due to the non-recognition of the image itself in the period prior to the surgery with greater impact, - a male pectoral prosthesis - until the assumption of a body image whose function is to do imaginary supplement to the foreclosure of the Name-of-the-Father he was able to stabilize his psychic condition from the organization of a triple externality in disorder: social, corporal and subjective. At the end, the need for further research is recognized in view of the possible clinical and metapsychological effects due to the intense identification processes required for its stabilization.(AU)

Background: Simulation is a useful training tool for undergraduate medical students. A valid instrument is needed to assess students' perception of simulation workshops. Aim: To adapt and validate an instrument to assess the undergraduate medical student's perception of simulation workshops of clinical procedures. Material and Methods: Delphi Methodology was used to adapt the instrument. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses were performed to determine the construct validity and Cronbach's Alpha (0 to 1) for internal consistency of the instrument. Results: A Delphi panel of 10 experts adapted a seven-item questionnaire (Likert scale 1-5; ranging from 7 to 35) and four open-questions. After 3-delphi-rounds, the instrument was administered to 210 students in six simulation training programs (Paracentesis, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Airway management, Sutures, Thoracentesis and Nursing Procedures). The instrument was considered unidimensional in the factorial analysis. The overall median (Q1-Q3) score was 34 ranging from 32 to 35 and the Cronbach Alpha coefficient was 0.72, indicating a good reliability. Conclusions: The perception questionnaire is a useful and reliable instrument to assess students' perceptions of clinical simulations.

A fissura labiopalatal repercute nos ambientes sociais, interferindo na sociabilização, no desenvolvimento da personalidade, no progresso educacional, na qualidade de vida. Como a reabilitação implica hospitalizações, o fissurado tem contato precoce com a enfermagem, que deve garantir assistência humanizada. Torna-se indispensável a atuação de uma equipe interdisciplinar especializada, abrangendo aspectos biopsicossociais do fissurado. Objetivamos compreender a experiência da criança e do adolescente fissurados, conhecer suas necessidades e atuar para seu esclarecimento e orientação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, cujo método foi Análise de Conteúdo. Os sujeitos tinham 7-18 anos. Realizamos nove entrevistas. Apreendemos cinco categorias -Percepção da criança/adolescente frente à fissura; Dificuldades nas interações sociais; Experiência do tratamento da fissura; Entendimento sobre os motivos da fissura e Redes de apoio para superação. O choque emocional de malformações congênitas na saúde infantil/adolescência, na família e na sociedade é complexo, podendo comprometer o ajustamento psicossocial. A correção cirúrgica e o amadurecimento psicológico auxiliam na resiliência. Desvelar a experiência dos fissurados evidencia dificuldades, bem como possibilidades de atuação da Enfermagem junto a eles e suas famílias, aspectos importantes de serem conhecidos/utilizados para a melhora do cuidado prestado.
The craniofacial anomaly affects social environments, influences socialization, personal development and educational progress, interfering in life's quality. Rehabilitation involves hospitalization, so has early contact with nursing that must ensure humanizes care. It's necessary involvement of a specialized interdisciplinary team, spanning the biopsychosocial aspects of cleft. We aimed to understand the experience of the child/adolescent fissured to know their needs, working in the clarification and guidance. This is a qualitative research, whose method was content analysis. Subjects were individuals from 7-18. Nine interviews were conducted. Five categories emerged from the analysis: Perception of child/adolescent about the cleft palate/lip, Difficulties in social interactions, Experience in the treatment of cleft lip/palate, Understanding the reasons for the cleft and Support networks to overcome. The emotional congenital malformation's impact on the health of children/adolescent, family and society is complex. The apparent esthetic difference compromises their psychosocial adjustment. Surgical correction/psychological maturity help to improve the resiliency. The knowledge of the experience's cleft spotlight their difficulties, as well as deficiencies in Nursing action with them and their families, important aspects to be known/used to improve the care provided.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the impact of stress in patients undergoing major surgeries under general anesthesia, relating their physical and psychic reactions to the different stages of stress. METHODS: we studied 100 adult patients of both genders, who were divided into two groups: Group 1 - 22 patients without experience with surgery; Group 2 - 78 patients previously submitted to medium and major surgery. To investigate the stress, we used the Inventory of Stress Symptoms for Adults, developed by Lipp, the day before the procedure and two days and seven days after the operation. The comparison of groups with respect to gender, pain, and percentage of stress were performed using the Chi-square test, and for the age variable the Student's t test was used. Differences were considered significant at p<0.05. RESULTS: the groups were not homogeneous as for the overall percentage of stress on the three measurements. G1 had decreased postoperative stress, whilst in G2 it increased. Psychological symptoms of stress prevailed in both groups. CONCLUSION: previous surgery reduced preoperative stress but did not affect postoperative emotional disorders. .
OBJETIVO: avaliar o impacto do estresse em pacientes submetidos à operações de grande porte, sob anestesia geral, relacionando suas reações físicas e psíquicas com as diferentes fases do estresse. MÉTODOS: foram estudados 100 pacientes adultos de ambos os sexos, distribuídos em dois grupos: Grupo 1- 22 pacientes sem experiência com cirurgia; Grupo 2- 78 pacientes submetidos previamente a outras operações de médio e grande porte. Para investigação do estresse, utilizou-se o Inventário de Sintomas de Stress para Adultos, desenvolvido por Lipp, um dia antes, dois dias, e sete dias após a operação. A comparação dos grupos quanto às variáveis sexo, dor, e percentual de estresse, foi realizada pelo teste qui-quadrado e para a variável idade foi utilizado o teste t Student. As diferenças foram consideradas significativas para p<0,05. RESULTADOS: os grupos não foram homogêneos quanto ao percentual geral de estresse nas três mensurações. O G1 diminuiu e o G2 aumentou o estresse no pós-operatório. Prevaleceram sintomas psíquicos do estresse em ambos os grupos. CONCLUSÃO: O fato de ter sido operado previamente reduziu a tensão pré-operatória, porém não interferiu nos distúrbios emocionais pós-operatórios. .

INTRODUÇÃO: Este artigo tem como objetivo rever estudos sobre o estresse psicológico no perioperatório de pacientes adultos submetidos a operações de médio e grande porte, sob anestesia geral. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados trabalhos publicados e catalogados nas bases de dados Medline interface Pubmed, Lilacs e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde - BVS desde 1984, cruzando-se os descritores estresse, cirurgia, anestesia geral, psicologia Encontraram-se mais de 800 artigos relacionados a estresse e cirurgia, que foram analisados em função de sua pertinência com o tema proposto. Desses, 18 abordaram o estresse psíquico. Os resultados levantados confirmaram a existência do estresse, tanto físico quanto psicológico, no período perioperatório e a relação entre estresse e evolução clínica de pacientes. Após a análise dos estudos observou-se a lacuna existente na literatura consultada, sobre a ação do estresse psíquico nesse período. CONCLUSÃO: O conhecimento mais aprofundado das implicações psicológicas do estresse pode beneficiar pacientes e profissionais de saúde no tratamento cirúrgico.
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this article was to provide the literature regarding the psychological stress in the peri-operative period of adult patients undergoing operations under general anesthesia. METHODS: The articles were obtained by surveying the papers published and catalogued in the Medline Pubmed interface database, Lilacs and the Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) since 1984, crossing the headings stress, surgery, general anesthesia, psychology. Over 800 articles related to stress and surgery were analyzed with regards to their relevance to the considered subject. Eighteen articles were related to psychological stress.

Este artigo tem como objetivo rever estudos sobre o estresse psicológico no perioperatório de pacientes adultos submetidos a operações de médio e grande porte, sob anestesia geral. Foram estudados trabalhos publicados e catalogados nas bases de dados Medline interface Pubmed, LILACS e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde ? BVS desde 1984. Encontraram-se mais de 800 artigos relacionados a estresse e cirurgia, que foramanalisados em função de sua pertinência com o tema proposto. Desses, 18 abordaram o estresse psíquico. Os resultados levantados confirmaram a existência do estresse, tanto físico quanto psicológico, no período perioperatório e a relação entre estresse e evolução clínica de pacientes. Após a análise dos estudos observou-se a lacuna existentena literatura consultada, sobre a ação do estresse psíquico nesse período. O conhecimento mais aprofundado das implicações psicológicas do estresse pode beneficiar pacientes e profissionais de saúde no tratamento cirúrgico.
The purpose of this paper is to review studies on the perioperatory psychological stress in adult patients undergoing large and medium sized surgery, under general anesthesia. Papers published and catalogued in the database Medline interface Pubmed, LILACS and Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde-BVS (Health Virtual Library) were studied since 1984. Over 800 articles related to stress and surgery were found and analyzed due their pertinence with the proposed theme, among which 18 dealt with the psychical stress. The results confirmed the stress existence, either physical or psychological, in the perioperatory period, and the relation between the stress and the patientsï clinical evolution. After the studies analysis, the existing gap in the related literature was observed, concerning the psychical stress action in this period. The deeper information about the stress psychological implications may be beneficial both for patients and health professionals in the surgical treatment.

It has been recognized for more than 40 years that patients experience different levels of anxiety when faced with impending surgery. The degree to which each patient manifests anxiety is related to many factors; this study aims to assess the level of anxiety among patients undergoing major general surgery and to identify the effect of gender on preoperative anxiety. A sample of 300 patients who were admitted from 5th April 2009 to the 10th November 2009; in general surgery units of teaching hospitals [Rezgari and Hawler] in Erbil city were interviewed to assess their level of anxiety before surgery. The instrument used for this purpose was a questionnaire that included socio-demographic information and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory [STAI] of Spilberger. Most of the patients showed moderate to severe anxiety level; [moderate=50% and severe=38.3%] others showed mild anxiety level [11.7%]. A statistically significant relationship was seen between preoperative anxiety and gender; female patients showed high levels of anxiety [severe anxiety=46.9%] while male patients showed less severe anxiety level [severe anxiety=28.6%]. According to the results of the study patients undergoing major general surgery need to be assessed regarding level of anxiety before surgery. This anxiety should be reduced through appropriate interventions, especially in women who have been found to experience high levels of anxiety

In most of the developing counties postmenopausal breast cancer cases are offered a radical form of surgery relying on their unawareness about body image. We evaluate the effect of breast cancer surgical choice; Conservative Breast Therapy [BCT] or Modified Radical Mastectomy [MRM]; on body image in Egyptian postmenopausal cases. A prospective randomized trial of 100 postmenopausal women who had stage I and II breast cancer. Half of them had BCT and the other half had MRM. Sociodemographic data were collected and pre and postoperative assessments of body image distress were done using four scales; Breast Impact of Treatment Scale [BITS], Impact of Event Scale [IES], Situational Discomfort Scale [SDS], Body Satisfaction Scale [BSS]. The patients ages ranged from 43-82 years [54.28 +/- 8.84]. Preoperative assessment shows no statistical significant difference as regarding cognitive, affective, behavioral and evaluative components of body image between both studied groups. While in postoperative assessment, women in MRM group showed higher levels of body image distress among cognitive, affective and behavioral aspects. For the evaluative aspect, there was no statistical significant difference between both groups. Body image is as important for postmenopausal women as for younger women. Even in developing countries, where the concept is ignored, we should not deprive postmenopausal breast cancer cases from their right of a less mutilating option of treatment as BCT

A hospitalização é uma experiência complexa e pode apresentar-se como agradável ou não, sendo agravada no caso de necessidade de intervenção cirúrgica, principalmente quando o paciente é criança. Na prática, observa-se todo um movimento de reorganização pessoal do paciente e de seus familiares para enfrentar esse momento. Quando a cirurgia é suspensa, o paciente e seus familiares estão sujeitos a um desconforto maior, que pode gerar sentimentos de insegurança, angústia e ansiedade. Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar e descrever a percepção de quinze mães e/ou responsáveis por crianças de 0 a 18 anos, internadas num hospital de ensino do interior do Estado de São Paulo, após receberem a notícia de que a cirurgia de seu filho (a) seria suspensa. Foi um estudo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, que utilizou o referencial teórico da Comunicação Interpessoal e o referencial metodológico da Análise de Conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciaram que as suspensões de cirurgias pediátricas são um fato presente na instituição, que trazem repercussões ao paciente e seus familiares e à organização institucional; que a comunicação entre profissionais da equipe de saúde, pacientes e familiares sobre procedimentos a serem realizados ou não, é inadequada; que a atuação da enfermagem no momento da notícia da suspensão da cirurgia precisa ser pontual e efetiva.

Tens of milion people undergoing surgery each year in the world. Surgery is a stress that creates physiological responses [endocrine] and psychologic stress [fear, anxiety]. Prolonged anxiety, if unrecognized, creates stress which may subsequently harm the patient and delay recovery. This study was intended to assess factors affecting peroprative anxiey of the patients. This descriptive-analytical study involved 100 patients who admited on the general surgery wards in the hospitals of Mashhad. The patients were selected by objective-bused sampling method and a state- trait Anxiety inventory questionnair was filled for each patient in the evening and morning [immediatelly pre-oprative] prior to surgery. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. Our result indicated that a significant differnce between the mean evening anxiety [40.6] and mean morning anxiety [43.2][p < 0/001]. In addition, the following factors were found to be affecting preoprative morning anxiety: sex, asleep night prior surgery, waiting more than 2 hours, finacial problems, occupation and companion [R = 0/456]. Given the factors that have influence on preoprative anxiety, and some these factors are preventable, it is suggested that a systematic planning for recognition these factors in order to minimize their effects are prepared in surgery wards
