Background: Anxiety is an un-pleasurable emotional state associated with psychophysiological changes in response to an intrapsychic conflict. The perioperative period is one of the worrying events for most surgical patients. Despite preoperative anxiety having many negative consequences on post-operative physical and mental health, no adequate information on the degree to which the preoperative period exposed clients to preoperative anxiety and its associated factors. Objective: To assess the prevalence of preoperative anxiety and associated factors among adult surgical patients in Debre Berhan Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia. Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June 1, 2020, to August 30, 2020. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale (S-STAI) was used to measure the level of pre-operative anxiety. A systematic random sampling technique was employed to collect the data. The data were entered to Epi-Data version 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 25 for data analysis. A statistically significant association was declared at a p-value less than 0.05. Results: A total of 330 patients were enrolled in the study with a response rate of 93.2%. The prevalence of a high level of preoperative anxiety was 53.6% (95% CI (49.6-58.7)). Being female 3.2 (2.19, 3.71) illiterate 4.1 (2.01, 15.39), fear of death 2.12 (1.30, 3.44), results of operation 2.60 (1.75, 4.18), postoperative pain 2.35 (1.37, 4.02), and surgical complication 1.9 (1.03, 12.13) were statistically significant factors. Conclusion:Preoperative anxiety affects more than half of surgical patients which is a high and serious health burden. Additionally, this study revealed that being female, illiterate, fear of death, having a history of surgical complications and fear of complications, and fear of postoperative pain were significantly associated with preoperative anxiety. Assessing during the preoperative period helps to detect and ameliorate the problem. Preoperative counseling and informed consent taken as a prerequisite for surgery will help in reducing preoperative anxiety.

“…Patients need to be assessed regularly for anxiety during the preoperative visit (Bedaso & Ayalew, 2019). in conjunction with the study of Wondmieneh A et al also found that fear of death, fear of the unknown, and fear of postoperative complications were significant predictors of the emergence of preoperative anxiety (Wondmieneh, 2020).…”

Anxiety is a negative or threatening emotion that a person feels in general, in the long term (anxiety trait), or in certain situations that fluctuates over time (anxiety state). The research method used is a systematic review conducted by looking for articles related to the assessment of factors supporting anxiety before surgery in cardiac surgery patients who do not have a history of postoperative anxiety and morbidity through an electronic database search, namely ProQuest, and Google Scholar conducted in June – August 2022. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Patients with preoperative heart surgery have a moderate-high level of anxiety with many influencing risk factors. The extent to which each patient manifests his or her preoperative anxiety depends on many factors such as the patient's susceptibility to preoperative anxiety, age, gender, past experience with surgery, educational status, type and degree of proposed surgery, current health status, and socioeconomic status. . Patients with high postoperative pain have high morbidity and mortality, poor recovery, impaired wound healing, poor satisfaction, and longer hospital stays. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study in this systematic review, it was shown that patients undergoing cardiac surgery showed moderate to high levels of preoperative anxiety, with little medical information obtained, especially those related to surgery. Many factors influence the emergence of anxiety in preoperative cardiac patients, including fear of postoperative complications, lack of preoperative information to patients about surgical methods and procedures and the anesthesia they will undergo, not having strong social support, fear of death, fear of the unknown, the danger of doctor or nurse error, the need for blood transfusions, and the patient's comorbidities. Preoperative psychosocial factors are associated with poor short-term and long-term outcomes after cardiac surgery, so the detection and assessment of the patient's anxiety level before undergoing cardiac surgery should be carried

“…For this purpose, a single population formula was used to obtain a final sample size of 423 with an assumption of 0.05 margin of error(d), a 95% confidence interval (CI), and a 48.3% estimated proportion of POA (P) taken from a study conducted in Wollo, Northeast Ethiopia. 23 A systematic random sampling technique was employed to select a total of 423 study participants. The average number of participants in four public hospitals was estimated from last year's monthly reports (Howot Fana Comprehensive Specialized University Hospital (HFCSH) (300), Jugula Hospital (JH) (180), Dire Dawa Referral Hospital (DRH) (235), and Sabian General Hospital (SGH) (155)) before data collection.…”

Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of preoperative anxiety and associated factors among adult surgical patients in public hospitals of eastern Ethiopia from 25 April to 26 May 2022. Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was undertaken using a systematic sampling technique among 423 participants from patients eligible for elective surgery. The prevalence of preoperative anxiety was assessed using the state and trait anxiety inventory measurement scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive and summary statistics were computed. Binary and multivariable logistic regression were computed. The strength of the association was presented using an adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval and statistical significance was declared at a p-value < 0.05. Results: The prevalence of preoperative anxiety among patients scheduled for elective surgery was 51.2%. Being 31–45 aged adult (AOR = 0.36; 95% CI = 0.17, 0.78), having moderate (AOR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.22, 0.96) and strong social support (AOR = 0.04; 95% CI = 0.02, 0.08), being single (AOR = 0.19; 95% CI = 0.04, 0.89), listening to music (AOR = 0.37; 95% CI = 0.18, 0.74) and finding social and religious support (AOR = 0.15; 95% CI = 0.07, 0.33), and orthopedic surgery (AOR = 0.21; 95% CI = 0.10, 0.43) were significantly associated with lower odds of preoperative anxiety, whereas having fear of death (AOR = 1.16; 95% CI = 0.64, 2.09) was significantly associated with increased odds of preoperative anxiety. Conclusion: In the current study, the magnitude of preoperative anxiety was high. Being an older adult and having social and treatment support was associated with lower odds of preoperative anxiety. In contrast, lower psychological readiness (fear of death) was associated with increased odds of preoperative anxiety. Patients should be routinely assessed for anxiety during the preoperative appointment, and the proper coping mechanisms and anxiety-reduction approaches should be used. It is also advisable that appropriate policies and procedures for reducing preoperative anxiety should be devised
