Abstract: (266 Views)
Introduction: Preoperative anxiety is a common problem that can exert a negative impact on patients’ treatment and recovery process. The present study aimed to assess the level of state and trait anxiety in patients undergoing eye surgery in hospitals in Zanjan, Iran.
Method: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 70 patients undergoing eye surgery. Demographic information and anxiety levels were collected using Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and analyzed in SPSS software (version 26).
Results: The mean scores of state and trait anxiety of the patients were reported as 47.85 and 49.15, respectively, which were at a moderate to high level. Trait anxiety was significantly higher in males than in females (P<0.05). Although economic status and education did not have a significant effect on anxiety, patients with poor financial status reported higher levels of anxiety. In addition, single and employed participants had more anxiety compared to other groups, although these differences were not statistically significant. Older patients tended to be more anxious; nonetheless, this difference was not statistically significant. The presence of underlying diseases did not have a substantial effect on patients' anxiety.
Conclusion: Preoperative anxiety before eye surgery is at a high level, highlighting the importance of psychological and educational interventions to mitigate anxiety and improve treatment outcomes. Designing relaxation and information programs can be effective in managing anxiety. Further research in this field is recommended to identify influential factors and provide more effective solutions.
