Filter by:This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of virtual reality glasses and smartphone game applications on preoperative anxiety in children who have day surgery. The study comprised of 60 children (20 children in a virtual reality glass game application group, 20 children in a smartphone game application group, and 20 children in a control group). The approval of the ethics committee, permissions from the institutions, and informed voluntary approval of the children's were obtained to conduct the research. The data of the research were collected through the Children's Perioperative Multidimensional Anxiety Scale (CPMAS), physiological parameters of children were measured before, after and 90 minutes after the operation, and salivary cortisol sample taken before surgery in all of groups. Children in smartphone game application groups played a game for 15 minutes on a smartphone before the surgical operation, and standard care was given to children. Children in virtual reality game application groups played a game for 15 minutes on virtual reality glasses before the surgical operation, and standard care was given to children. Before the surgical operation, standard care was given to children in control groups. The value of p<0.05 was accepted statistically significant in the data analyses.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Anxiety and depression often accompany the treatment phase of oncology patients. Since both anxiety and depression are associated with increased inflammatory activity, these preoperative symptoms may predispose patients to the development of postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction. The aim of this study is to reveal the correlation of preoperative anxiety with early postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients with breast cancer who will undergo surgery.
Sleep is a naturally occurring state of decreased arousal that is crucial for normal immune and cognitive function. Although surgery and anesthesia techniques have improved in recent years, sleep function and sleep cycles may still be altered perioperatively by surgery and other interventions under general anesthesia.Postoperative sleep fragmentation and poor sleep quality not only lead to hyperalgesia and delayed postoperative recovery, but can increase the risk of potential adverse effects, such as cognitive impairment, chronic pain and emotional disturbances, metabolic disorders, and pro-inflammatory changes. General anesthesia is a medically induced state of hyporesponsiveness that resembles natural sleep. Studies have shown that general anesthesia can lead to circadian rhythm time structure dyssynchrony, resulting in postoperative sleep disturbance, characterized by decreases in rapid eye movement (REM) and slow wave sleep (SWS). Previous studies have also reported that age, preoperative comorbidities, and severity of surgical trauma are independent factors associated with postoperative sleep disturbance. In addition, anxiety is an unpleasant sensation that compromises patients' comfort and well-being. A study by Ruis et al. estimated that 25-80% of patients admitted for surgery experienced preoperative anxiety, including fear of surgery and anesthesia-related fears. Furthermore, preoperative anxiety was recognized as a potential and preventable risk factor for severe postoperative pain and postoperative complications such as increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Given that several prior studies have reported that preoperative anxiety has an effect on postoperative sleep quality in patients undergoing gynecological surgery, this study aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative anxiety on postoperative outcomes and sleep quality in patients undergoing gynecological surgery. Studying these results could enable us to better manage patients during the perioperative period to promote their postoperative recovery.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of virtual reality (VR) on the preoperative anxietyof patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
Many studies are present about the preoperative anxiety among patients. But the preoperative anxiety of the surgeons is not studied yet. The aim of this study is to evaluate the preoperative anxiety of the surgeons.100 surgeons consisted of performing operations in general surgery, obstetric and gynecology , orthopedic surgery ,ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, urology, gynecologic oncology, surgical oncology, cardiovascular surgery, pediatric surgery and neurosurgery will be participated in the study. Surgeons will be chosen from the specialist doctor, assistant doctor, doctor lecturer, associate professor and professors.15 minutes prior to the first elective operation of the day, salivary cortisol samples will be taken from the surgeons and they will be asked to fill the evaluation form and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form (STAI).
In the preoperative period, 60-80% of the patients had anxiety symptoms. This rate increases even more during pregnancy. There are a number of studies examining the role of anxiety symptoms on fetal outcome, but the mechanisms that explain the effects of maternal stress are not fully understood. The most extensively studied cytokines in neuropsychiatric disorders are TNF-α and IL-6 due to their effects on the central nervous system. TNF-α levels have been reported to be elevated in anxiety disorders. In our study, the investigators aimed to determine the relationship between preoperative anxiety levels and fetal cord blood TNF-α and IL-6 cytokine levels in pregnant women.

Can music listening decrease a patient's anxiety before surgery? The investigators hypothesize that music listening will decrease a patient's pre-operative anxiety significantly more than no music listening. The investigators aim to see if additional variables affect a patient's anxiety and response to music listening, such as demographic factors (age, race, prior surgical experience, type of surgery planned) and music background (experience playing a musical instrument, music listening habits). The investigators also aim to see if pre-operative music listening is associated with improved patient satisfaction.
