Preoperative anxiety often affects the mental health and possible outcomes of patients undergoing surgery. This study will investigate the factors contributing to preoperative anxiety among surgical patients at a large tertiary hospital in Guizhou Province. By analyzing these factors, we aim to develop effective nursing strategies to establish a clearer clinical nursing plan. This study investigates different patients' demographic information and their temperament types. Researchers guided patients to complete the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS-C) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to analyze the factors that caused preoperative anxiety in patients. Based on these factors and the patients' different temperament types, different nursing countermeasure were implemented, followed by post-tests to prove the effectiveness of the nursing interventions. The data in this study were managed with RaoSoft software to ensure the scientific validity of the initial sample size, resulting in a total sample of 382 people. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS 29.0 for initial data checking, followed by statistical work using JAMOVI. The results will provide providing a foundation for preventing psychological anxiety issues in surgical patients before their operations. And insights into the development of evidence-based care strategies to effectively address preoperative anxiety and improve patient care outcomes.
