BACKGROUND: Preoperative anxiety is a prevalent concern among surgical patients, significantly impacting their well-being and recovery. Common sources of anxiety include fears related to pain, anesthesia, and surgical outcomes. Despite the importance of addressing this issue, there is limited research on preoperative anxiety in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. This study explores the prevalence, determinants, and coping strategies for preoperative anxiety among surgical patients in this region.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey distributed to patients scheduled for surgery at healthcare facilities in Jazan. The survey collected data on demographics, surgical history, anxiety symptoms, sources of anxiety, and coping strategies. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.
RESULTS: The study included 312 participants, primarily young adults aged 18-24 years. The majority reported experiencing anxiety symptoms such as nausea (47.8%), sweating (47.8%), and irritability (41.3%). Pain (54.2%), surgical outcomes (49.0%), and anesthesia (32.4%) were the most common sources of anxiety. Support from family and friends (66.7%) and relaxation techniques (26.6%) were identified as the most effective coping strategies. A significant proportion (71.8%) expressed a need for additional support.
CONCLUSION: Preoperative anxiety is common among surgical patients in Jazan, driven mainly by concerns about pain, anesthesia, and surgical outcomes. Effective coping strategies include support from family and friends and relaxation techniques. There is a need for additional support resources to improve patient care and reduce anxiety.
