AB  - Objective: Preoperative anxiety is a prevalent concern among ambulatory surgery patients. Besides controversialfindings between preoperative anesthesia evaluation and anxiety in ambulatory surgical patients, its optimaltiming on anxiety levels remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the impact of preoperative anesthesiaevaluation timing on anxiety levels in patients undergoing ambulatory surgery.Material and Method: A prospective, non-randomized, observational study was conducted between May 2016 andAugust 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) andGroup AS (assessed on the day of surgery). Preoperative anxiety was measured using the Spielberger State-TraitAnxiety Inventory (STAI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at two time points: just before preoperative anesthesiaevaluation (Score 1) and immediately before surgery (Score 2).Results: The study comprised 144 patients, with 72 in each group. No significant differences between groupswere observed in baseline sociodemographic characteristics (p>0.05), except for significantly older patientsin Group OP than those in Group AS (p=0.030). Median STAI-S, STAI-T, and VAS scores (Score 1) showed nosignificant differences between groups (p>0.05). Both groups significantly increased STAI-S scores betweenScore 1 and Score 2 measurements (p=0.015 for Group OP and p

N2  - Amaç: Preoperatif anksiyete, ambulatuvar cerrahi hastaları arasında yaygın bir endişe kaynağıdır. Ameliyat öncesianestezi değerlendirmesi ile ambulatuvar cerrahi hastalarındaki anksiyete arasındaki tartışmalı bulgulara rağmen,bu değerlendirmenin anksiyete düzeyleri üzerindeki optimal zamanlaması belirsiz kalmaktadır. Bu çalışmanınamacı, preoperatif anestezi değerlendirmesi zamanının ambulatuvar cerrahi geçirecek hastaların ameliyat öncesianksiyete düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Mayıs 2016 ile Ağustos 2016 arasında, prospektif, non-randomize, gözlemsel bir çalışmaplanlandı. Lokal anestezi altında sedasyon ile elektif cerrahi planlanan yetişkin hastalar dahil edildi. Katılımcılar,anestezi değerlendirmesinin zamanlamasına göre iki gruba ayrıldı. Anestezi değerlendirmesi cerrahi günündenönce 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 üzereiki 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 sosyodemografiközellikler açısından, Grup OP’de anlamlı olarak daha ileri yaşı olan hastalar olması dışında (p=0,030), anlamlıbir fark gözlenmedi (p>0,05). Medyan STAI-S, STAI-T ve VAS skorları (Skor 1) arasında gruplar arası anlamlı birfark bulunmadı (p>0,05). Her iki grup da Skor 1 ve Skor 2 ölçümleri arasında STAI-S skorlarında anlamlı bir artışgösterdi (Grup OP için p=0,015 ve Grup AS için p0,05). Her iki grup da Skor 1 ve Skor 2 ölçümleri arasında STAI-S skorlarında anlamlı bir artış göstermiştir (Grup OP için p=0,015 ve Grup AS için p
