INTRODUCTION: This study aims to investigate the impact of pre-operative anxiety levels on sleep quality in patients undergoing surgical procedures.
METHODS: The study was conducted between July 01 and August 31, 2023, at an Istanbul training and research hospital. A total of 220 patients aged 18 years and older, who stayed in the hospital for at least 24 h post-surgery and did not use sleep medications, were included. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Amsterdam Pre-operative Anxiety and Information Scale, while sleep quality was evaluated using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0 software.
RESULTS: Among the participants, 50.5% were female, 65.9% were married, 51.8% were employed, and the mean age was 45±10.5 years. The average pre-operative anxiety level was 30.1±17.8, and the average sleep quality score was 15.2±4.16. Correlation analysis demonstrated a strong negative correlation between anxiety and sleep quality (p=-0.875, p<0.001). Furthermore, employment status and age were found to significantly affect both anxiety levels and sleep quality.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Pre-operative anxiety has a negative impact on sleep quality in patients. Addressing anxiety may contribute to an expedited recovery process post-surgery.

Keywords: Anxiety levels, pre-operative anxiety, sleep quality, surgical patients.
