Overview

Assessment reveals audiovisual aids reduce pre-operative anxiety in patients undergoing upper limb surgery, indicating effective communication strategies.

Key Points

  • Providing audiovisual information significantly reduces pre-operative anxiety among patients before upper limb surgeries.
  • The mean anxiety score decreased from 56.36 to 33.20 after receiving information about anaesthesia procedures.
  • Assessment using the Amsterdam Pre-operative Anxiety and Information Scale revealed notable decreases in anxiety post-presentation.
  • Effective communication can enhance surgical experiences, particularly for patients with lower education levels.
