“…In addition, control in the family of origin was modestly associated with anxiety. Inspection of the background characteristics indicates that, consistent with previous research (Awaritefe & Kadiri, 1982), females scored higher than males on anxiety. Higher family income was also related to lower anxiety.…”

“…Patients, who were blinded about their groups at the moment, were asked to fill the state scale of State‐trait anxiety inventory (STAI) form described by Spielberger et al [21] and the questionairre prepared for this study (see Table 1) in holding area of operating theatre just before the operation. State anxiety scale (STAI‐S) consists of 20 items arranged on a four‐point scale of intensity (‘not at all’, ‘somewhat’, ‘moderately so’ and ‘very much so’) and measures the subjective feelings of apprehension, nervousness and worry at the moment [2, 4]. Validity studies of STAI had been performed in Turkish samples [19].…”

Surgery is a stressful experience. Many minor interventions have been shown to cause considerable anxiety in patients, but whether arthroscopy leads to such anxiety is not well-known. Methods for lowering perioperative anxiety have been sought and listening to music or watching a movie have been recommended. The method of permitting patients to watch their own endoscopy has been studied infrequently. Our aim in this study was to find out the effect of watching simultaneous arthroscopic views on postoperative anxiety. A total of 63 patients were randomly divided into two groups: those watching their own arthroscopy formed group W, while patients that were only verbally informed formed group NW. The mean age of patients in both groups were 33 and 34, respectively. Meniscal surgery was the most commonly performed procedure (49/63 patients). The patients filled in state scale of State-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) forms and the study questionnaire (SQ) prepared for this study, just before and after the arthroscopy. Group W had significantly lower postoperative scores of STAI-S, whole questionnaire (Q-score) and all but one of individual statements in SQ. Having a previous operation history did not affect STAI scores. Age and level of education was not correlated with any of the studied parameters either. The ratio of patients that were pleased with the arthroscopy experience in group W and NW were 94 and 63%, respectively. Watching live arthroscopic views has led to a significant decrease in postoperative anxiety and worries about the surgery and the postoperative period, while increasing overall understanding and satisfaction of the patient.

“…The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is a self-rating instrument asking about current/recent symptoms of anxiety (state) as well as how anxious the person is in general (trait) [ 137 , 138 ]. It is especially helpful in treatment/follow-up studies with a focus on change over time [ 139 , 140 ]. Another appropriate self-rating measure is the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) seven-item scale developed to detect GAD in primary care populations [ 141 , 142 ].…”

BackgroundIn 2001, the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) report, “Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health: Does Sex Matter?” advocated for better understanding of the differences in human diseases between the sexes, with translation of these differences into clinical practice. Sex differences are well documented in the prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, the clinical manifestation and incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and the impact of risk factors on outcomes. There are also physiologic and psychosocial factors unique to women that may affect CVD risk, such as issues related to reproduction.MethodsThe Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) CV Network compiled an inventory of sex-specific strategies and methods for the study of women and CV health and disease across the lifespan. References for methods and strategy details are provided to gather and evaluate this information. Some items comprise robust measures; others are in development.ResultsTo address female-specific CV health and disease in population, physiology, and clinical trial research, data should be collected on reproductive history, psychosocial variables, and other factors that disproportionately affect CVD in women. Variables related to reproductive health include the following: age of menarche, menstrual cycle regularity, hormone levels, oral contraceptive use, pregnancy history/complications, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) components, menopause age, and use and type of menopausal hormone therapy. Other factors that differentially affect women’s CV risk include diabetes mellitus, autoimmune inflammatory disease, and autonomic vasomotor control. Sex differences in aging as well as psychosocial variables such as depression and stress should also be considered. Women are frequently not included/enrolled in mixed-sex CVD studies; when they are included, information on these variables is generally not collected. These omissions limit the ability to determine the role of sex-specific contributors to CV health and disease. Lack of sex-specific knowledge contributes to the CVD health disparities that women face.ConclusionsThe purpose of this review is to encourage investigators to consider ways to increase the usefulness of physiological and psychosocial data obtained from clinical populations, in an effort to improve the understanding of sex differences in clinical CVD research and health-care delivery for women and men.
