Observational

Mordiffi et al. (2003) conducted an observational in Surgical patients. Preoperative information was evaluated on Perceptions about preoperative information. A gap in preoperative information provided about anesthesia and the OR environment was identified, attributed to health care providers' misunderstanding of the information patients desire.
