Summary

This study tested whether a brief, personalized talk with a nurse right before surgery can lower anxiety. 314 adults scheduled for day surgery took part. The nurse listened to fears, explained the procedure, and taught simple breathing techniques. The goal was to see if this extra support helps patients feel calmer and improves their overall surgical experience.
