Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper investigates preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing digestive surgery at Dong Nai General Hospital in 2024. The objective is to determine the prevalence of anxiety and its associated factors. The study is a cross-sectional descriptive research with 196 patients who are scheduled for digestive surgery. The results indicate a notable level of preoperative anxiety, with 37.9% of patients experiencing mild anxiety and 13.7% experiencing moderate anxiety. Factors associated with anxiety include economic status, gender, and age. Women and patients who are economically dependent tend to report higher anxiety levels. The study also highlights that concerns about pain, surgery complications, and the duration of the surgery are major causes of anxiety. The conclusion emphasizes the need for psychological interventions before surgery to reduce anxiety and improve treatment outcomes. The paper also suggests measures to provide financial and psychological support, especially for patients with financial difficulties.
