Abstract

Objective: To describe the level of anxiety of patients before gynecological surgery at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study on patients before planned gynecological surgery, using the DASS 21 scale recommended by the National Institute of Mental Health to assess the level of anxiety of patients. Results: The rate of patients with preoperative anxiety was 26,0%, with 20,0% of patients having mild to moderate anxiety symptoms. Patients without children at the present time had a statistically significant 60% lower level of preoperative anxiety compared to patients with many children (≥ 3 children). Comorbidities and a history of allergies were two factors that increased the level of preoperative anxiety by 4 times and 3.3 times, respectively, with statistical significance. Conclusion: The study showed that 26,0% of patients had preoperative anxiety, with 20,0% of patients having mild to moderate anxiety symptoms. Patients who were currently childless, had comorbidities, and a history of allergies were three factors that had a statistically significant effect on the level of anxiety before gynecological surgery. The National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology needs to have more appropriate psychological counseling solutions for these patients.
