Calm before the cut: quick nurse chat eases surgery fears

NCT ID NCT07309458

Summary

This study tested if a brief, personalized talk with a nurse right before surgery could reduce patients' anxiety. It involved 314 adults having outpatient surgery, comparing those who received standard care to those who got an extra 15-20 minute supportive conversation. The goal was to see if this simple, human-centered intervention could make the surgical experience less stressful and improve recovery.
