Abstract

The prevalence of preoperative anxiety and the demand for information were high among the participants in this study. The patient's demand for information is a predictive factor of preoperative anxiety. Other factors, such as knowing the surgeon or having undergone previous surgery, acted as protective factors against preoperative anxiety.
