Abstract

Background: The preoperative assessment of patients plays a crucial role as it not only helps to reduce anxiety and concerns related to the surgery but also ensures a comprehensive recovery of the patient, both physically and mentally, after the operation. Objectives: To assess the preoperative psychological status of patients undergoing elective surgery at the Department of General Surgery, Can Tho City General Hospital, and to identify factors associated with preoperative anxiety. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriphẫu thuậtive study was conducted on 150 patients scheduled for elective surgery at the Department of General Surgery from January to June 2024. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: The proportion of patients with preoperative anxiety was 62.7%. Factors associated with anxiety included female gender, age under 40, low education level, lack of prior surgical experience, and lack of clear counseling about surgical and anaesthetic procedures. The most common concerns were intraoperative/postoperative pain (89%), impact on work (75.4%), disease recurrence (74.9%), exposure to medication (29.3%), and feeling isolated (24.1%). Conclusion: Preoperative anxiety remains common among patients undergoing elective surgery. It is essential to enhance preoperative counseling, health education, and psychological support to improve treatment outcomes.
