“…Subsequently, the patient’s levels of knowledge about anaesthesia practices and the anaesthetist were evaluated, and it was found that past experiences did not affect the patient’s knowledge levels. Baja et al 20 identified that the level of knowledge about anaesthesia increased along with past experiences, and the patients who had anaesthesia before had higher levels of knowledge than those who were curious about anaesthesia. However, in the current study, it was found that experience did not affect the level of knowledge about anaesthesia.…”

Objective: Numerous studies performed worldwide indicate that the public has limited knowledge of anaesthesia practices and anaesthetists' duties and responsibilities. This study aimed to identify the level of knowledge about anaesthetists and anaesthesia practices, and to assess the reasons for anxiety about anaesthesia of the population admitted to our hospital, which is tertiary in Turkey. The secondary aim was to analyze their differences according to sex, education level, and acquired anaesthesia experience.Methods: A survey comprising 23 questions was administered to 400 patients and/or their relatives, aged 18-85 years, who presented to our clinic for preoperative anaesthesia evaluation and for whom elective surgery was planned from March through October 2017.Results: Of the 400 participants, 213 were women and 187 were men. Of all participants in the survey, 51.2% were patients and 48.8% were patient relatives; 64.2% had anaesthesia experience and 35.8% had never had anaesthesia before. The survey group's level of knowledge about anaesthesia was generally low. According to education level, there was a statistically significant difference in the anaesthesia recognition level. However, the acquired anaesthesia experience did not affect the anaesthesia recognition level. Conclusion:To raise the level of knowledge about this topic, anaesthetists must provide patients with more detailed information during preoperative and postoperative visits, which would significantly reduce their anxiety levels. Further, we determined that increasing the use of methods such as media-based brochures, booklets, and videos to inform patients may increase knowledge levels and reduce anxiety levels.
