Utilized standardised tools: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A), Quality of Recovery Scale (QoR-15), and Verran and Snyder-Halpern (VSH) sleep scale.
92% of patients reported varying degrees of pre-operative anxiety, with a mean score of 7.0 ± 3.9.
Significant negative correlation between pre-operative anxiety and post-operative recovery quality (r = -0.896, p < 0.001).
Significant negative correlation between pre-operative anxiety and sleep quality (r = -0.880, p < 0.001).
High levels of pre-operative anxiety adversely affect recovery and sleep quality post-surgery.
