Background: Anxiety is a vague and uneasy feeling of the individual. It is one of the commonest events that can happen to surgical patients. The prevalence is higher in low-income countries. In Ethiopia, the prevalence of preoperative anxiety reported is variable. This meta-analysis aimed to find the pooled prevalence of preoperative anxiety. Methods: The databases for the search were PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar by the date 02/03/2020. To assess publication bias Egger's test regression analysis was applied. Results: This meta-analysis included a total of 6 studies with 1832 study subjects. The pooled prevalence of preoperative anxiety was 55.54 %( 95% CI, 46.30 to 64.78%). Based on the subgroup analysis, the Oromia region ranked first (63.27%). Conclusions: The national prevalence of preoperative anxiety was high. Oromia region ranked first followed by Amhara, SNNP, and Addis Ababa. Patients need to assess often for anxiety during the preoperative visit.

This study aimed to explore the experiences of the people who underwent orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia and to report their feelings and thoughts. The study was carried out using a qualitative approach. Twenty‐one patients were interviewed who underwent orthopedic surgery on the first or second postoperative day. Content analysis was performed after the collection of raw data. NVIVO 12 Pro software was used for data analysis. The frequency count (f) and participant codes (P) were used for the presentation of the findings. The themes and frequency counts obtained by analyzing the interviews with the patients were as follows: “Time passed like watching a movie” (f = 213), “Like an adventure” (f = 587), and “See, feel, look” (f = 405). Five of 21 participants (23.8%) stated that they would not recommend spinal anesthesia. The findings generally indicated the anxiety caused by the unknown, fear in the preanesthetic period, operation experienced like an adventure, and a process generally completed with satisfaction.

Background: Preoperative anxiety, otherwise managed preoperatively, can cause high rate of cardiac mortality, adverse effects during anesthetic induction and patient recovery which correlate with high postoperative pain, increased analgesic and anesthetic consumption, prolonged hospital stay, poor quality of life decrease satisfaction with perioperative care. Objective: The systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide evidence on global prevalence and determinants of preoperative anxiety among surgical patients Methods: A three stage search strategy was conducted on PubMed/Medline, Cochran, Science Direct and LILACS databases. Publication bias was checked with a funnel plot and objective diagnostic test was conducted with Egger's correlation and Begg's regression tests. Results: The global pooled prevalence of preoperative anxiety among surgical patients was 48% (95% confidence interval (CI): 39 to 47%, 28 studies, 14652 participants. The systematic review and Meta-Analysis revealed that preoperative anxiety was approximately 4 times more likely in patients who had fear of complications, RR = 3.53(95 % confidence interval (CI: 3.06 to 4.07, six studies). Conclusion: The review revealed that approximately fifty percent of patients experienced preoperative anxiety which entails the policy makers and health care stakeholders should implement mitigating strategies to prevent and manage preoperative anxiety.
