Overview

Systematic review evaluates preoperative information's role in fear and anxiety in patients, highlighting the need for person-centered care.

Key Points

  • Preoperative information significantly influences patients' fear and anxiety before surgery, impacting their well-being.
  • Thematic analysis revealed that healthcare professionals' communication and alternative information sources affect patient anxiety levels.
  • Too much information can paradoxically increase fear and anxiety, stressing the need for tailored communication.
  • Addressing patients' concerns directly is crucial for alleviating preoperative discomfort and improving experiences.
