Filter by:Anxiety is a psychologic and physiological state that could be characterized by somatic, emotional, cognitive and behavioral components. Surgery, as well as waiting for surgery is an anxiogenic situation encountered by 60 à 80 % of the patients. High levels of anxiety lead to negative physiological signs that slow down healing, lowers imune response and increases post-surgery infection. Anxiety also increases pain and post-surgery morbi-mortality. Drug-induced sedation is frequently recommended to lower anxiety. The anxiolytic effect of alternative treatment such as musicotherapy has been demonstrated in several randomized control trials. Nevertheless, most of these studies have investigated the effect of musicotherapy in groups with our without musical listening. In the present study, investigators assume that a personal musical sequence composed by favourite songs of the patients could have beneficial effect on presurgical anxiety than selective sequence of the medical device MUSIC CARE. In this study, the anxiolytic effect of predefined U musical sequences that alternate slow and faster music tracks (medical device MUSIC CARE) are compared to patient's play-list, in women with planned gynecological surgery.
Music can reduce anxiety in adult patients awaiting surgical interventions. The study was designed to test the difference in cardiac parameters, anxiety questionnaire, laboratory enzymes, skin resitance between surgical patients listening music vs no sound.
This study evaluated the effects of preoperative anxiety and dosage of anesthesia on IVF success. Half of participants according to the recorded Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI) score: a low-anxiety group, while the other half high-anxiety group.
Background: Preoperative Anxiety is a negative factor in anesthetic and surgical experience. Among the strategies for reducing children's anxiety, non-pharmacological strategies are as important as the pharmacological ones, but their its validity is still controversial. Objectives: The aim of this study is to verify if the information provided to relatives as well as and smartphone application provided to children interferes in prevalence and level of child preoperative anxiety. Methods: Eighty four children, 4-8 years old, ASA I, II and III, undergoing elective surgical procedures and their relatives are randomly allocated into four groups: control group (CG) where the relative received conventional information about anesthesia; info group (IG), relative received an information leaflet about anesthesia; device group (DG), relative received only conventional verbal information and the child received smartphone application immediately before entering the operating room; device and info group (DIG) relative received a leaflet containing information and the child received smartphone application. Children's anxiety will be assessed using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS) on three occasions: at the ward (W), surgical theater in the waiting room (WR) and at the operating room (OR). Statistics analysis will employ by Kruskall-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests for prevalence and level of anxiety in the groups.
1. Appreciation of preoperative anxiety in children is important for the anesthesiologist. 2. Several factors defined to effect the anxiety levels preoperatively in children such as , age, previous medical encounters , education level and parental anxiety. 3. This information was tested for Turkish children during the preoperative anesthetic evaluation.
Dental anxiety is a significant barrier to the acceptance of regular dental care, and has many negative consequences. A study by Dailey et al. (2002) found that providing the dentist with information of the high level of a patient's dental anxiety prior to treatment using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS, Humphris et al., 1995), lead to a significant reduction in state anxiety from pre- to post- dental consultation compared to a control group. The current study aimed to replicate the study by Dailey et al. (2002), and to further explore whether the reduction in state anxiety associated with the MDAS could be explained by a change in dentist behaviour on receiving it, or a change in patient expectancy about the treatment session, or both. The design was a randomised control trial involving three groups, which aimed to manipulate possible changes in dentist behaviour and patient expectancy. In Group 1, the MDAS was left at reception, as expected by the patient. In Group 2, the dentist received the MDAS, although the patient did not expect this. In Group 3 the dentist received the MDAS and the patient did expect this. The sample (N=182) was taken from two dental access centres, and included participants obtaining a score of 19 or above, or 5 on any one item of the MDAS. Pre- and post-dental consultation measures of state anxiety were taken using the six-item short-form of the state scale of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S, Marteau & Bekker, 1992).
