Abstract

Amaç: Preoperatif anksiyete, ambulatuvar cerrahi hastaları arasında yaygın bir endişe kaynağıdır. Ameliyat öncesi
anestezi değerlendirmesi ile ambulatuvar cerrahi hastalarındaki anksiyete arasındaki tartışmalı bulgulara rağmen,
bu değerlendirmenin anksiyete düzeyleri üzerindeki optimal zamanlaması belirsiz kalmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın
amacı, preoperatif anestezi değerlendirmesi zamanının ambulatuvar cerrahi geçirecek hastaların ameliyat öncesi
anksiyete düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Mayıs 2016 ile Ağustos 2016 arasında, prospektif, non-randomize, gözlemsel bir çalışma
planlandı. Lokal anestezi altında sedasyon ile elektif cerrahi planlanan yetişkin hastalar dahil edildi. Katılımcılar,
anestezi değerlendirmesinin zamanlamasına göre iki gruba ayrıldı. Anestezi değerlendirmesi cerrahi gününden
önce yapılan hastalar Grup OP ve cerrahi günü yapılan hastalar Grup AS olarak tanımlandı. Preoperatif anksiyete,
preoperatif anestezi değerlendirmesinden hemen önce (Skor 1) ve cerrahiden hemen önce (Skor 2) olmak üzere
iki farklı zaman diliminde Spielberger Durum-Sürekli Anksiyete Envanteri (STAI) ve Görsel Analog Skala (VAS)
kullanılarak ölçüldü.
Bulgular:Çalışmada 144 hasta olup, her bir grupta 72 hasta bulunmaktadır. Gruplar arasında temel sosyodemografik
özellikler açısından, Grup OP’de anlamlı olarak daha ileri yaşı olan hastalar olması dışında (p=0,030), anlamlı
bir fark gözlenmedi (p>0,05). Medyan STAI-S, STAI-T ve VAS skorları (Skor 1) arasında gruplar arası anlamlı bir
fark bulunmadı (p>0,05). Her iki grup da Skor 1 ve Skor 2 ölçümleri arasında STAI-S skorlarında anlamlı bir artış
gösterdi (Grup OP için p=0,015 ve Grup AS için p<0,001). Yine de, Skor-1 ve Skor-2 değerleri arasındaki STAI-S
ölçeklerindeki değişiklikler benzerdi (p=0,962). STAI-S skorları, iki farklı zaman noktasında Grup OP ve AS içinde
ayrı ayrı VAS skorları ile anlamlı olarak korele olduğu saptandı (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Preoperatif anestezi değerlendirmesinin cerrahi öncesi veya cerrahi gününde gerçekleştirilmiş olmasının,
ambulatuvar cerrahi hastalarındaki preoperatif anksiyete düzeyleri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmamaktadır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu prospektif çalışma Mayıs 2016 ile Ağustos 2016 arasında, rastgele olmayan, kontrol gruplu bir çalışmadır.

Effect of Preanesthetic Assessment Timing on Preoperative Anxiety in Ambulatory Surgery Patients

Year 2025, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 61 - 69, 25.02.2025

Abstract

Objective: Preoperative anxiety is a prevalent concern among ambulatory surgery patients. Besides controversial
findings between preoperative anesthesia evaluation and anxiety in ambulatory surgical patients, its optimal
timing on anxiety levels remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the impact of preoperative anesthesia
evaluation timing on anxiety levels in patients undergoing ambulatory surgery.
Material and Method: A prospective, non-randomized, observational study was conducted between May 2016 and
August 2016. Adult patients scheduled for elective surgery under local anesthesia with sedation were included.
Participants were divided based on the timing of anesthesia evaluation: Group OP (evaluated before surgery) and
Group AS (assessed on the day of surgery). Preoperative anxiety was measured using the Spielberger State-Trait
Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at two time points: just before preoperative anesthesia
evaluation (Score 1) and immediately before surgery (Score 2).
Results: The study comprised 144 patients, with 72 in each group. No significant differences between groups
were observed in baseline sociodemographic characteristics (p>0.05), except for significantly older patients
in Group OP than those in Group AS (p=0.030). Median STAI-S, STAI-T, and VAS scores (Score 1) showed no
significant differences between groups (p>0.05). Both groups significantly increased STAI-S scores between
Score 1 and Score 2 measurements (p=0.015 for Group OP and p<0.001 for Group AS). Nevertheless, changes
between Score-1 and Score-2 values of STAI-S scales were similar (p=0.962). STAI-S scores were significantly
correlated with VAS scores separately in Groups OP and AS at two different time points (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The timing of preoperative anesthesia evaluation, whether conducted before or on the day of surgery,
did not significantly affect preoperative anxiety levels in ambulatory surgery patients.
