Why the study?

Patient perception of anesthesia and the role of anesthesiologists is often underestimated, prompting an assessment of how education level and previous anesthesia exposure affect this perception.

Population

386 patients above 14 years old admitted for elective surgery at Patan Hospital

Comparison

Educational levels and previous vs no previous exposure to anesthesia

Design

Cross-sectional predesigned questionnaire-based study

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Patient anesthesia awareness varies by education and prior exposure; leaves open whether tailored education improves perceptions or outcomes.

Structured PICO

Population

386 hospital admitted patients above 14 years old undergoing elective surgery in different departments of Patan Hospital, Nepal. Mean age 38.97±15.9 years, 39.6% male.

Outcome

Perception of patients about anesthesia and the role of the anesthesiologist in relation to educational level and previous exposure to anesthesiapatient reported

Patients undergoing elective surgery in Nepal have poor knowledge regarding anesthesia and the role of anesthesiologists, which is significantly influenced by their educational level and previous exposure to anesthesia.

Limitations

Single center study in a tertiary care hospital, so findings cannot be generalized
Data collected during pre-anesthetic evaluation one day before surgery, meaning some patients may have already received information about anesthesia
