ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the occurrence of anxiety before anesthesia and identify the risk factors for anxiety. Methods A total of 500 patients of both sexes, aged 18-80 yr, of American So-ciety of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ-Ⅲ, scheduled for elective surgery, were selected. The patients were investigated using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale and anxiety factor questionnaires. It was evaluated whether the patient had anxiety before anesthesia according to the scale score, and then the patients were divided into anxiety group and non-anxiety group. The possible risk factors for anxiety were compared, and the statistically significant variables were further analyzed by Logistic regression to stratify the risk factors. Results The incidence of pre-anesthesia anxiety was 46. 80%. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, lack of understanding of the next treatment, fear of death, fear of surgical failure, fear of intraoperative and postoperative pain were independent risk factors for anxiety before anesthesia. Conclusion The incidence of pre-anesthesia anxiety is 46. 80%, and gender, lack of understanding of the next treatment, fear of death, fear of surgical failure, fear of intraoperative and postoperative pain are in-dependent risk factors for pre-anesthesia anxiety in the patients undergoing surgery.
