Summary

This study tests whether a nurse-led education session before surgery can lower patients' anxiety and reduce the risk of agitation when waking up from anesthesia. About 80 adults having elective general surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the extra education or standard care. The goal is to see if understanding what happens during emergence from anesthesia helps patients feel more at ease and recover more safely.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Preoperative emergence-focused education (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give hospitals a simple, low-cost way to help patients feel calmer before surgery and recover more smoothly afterward.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to all surgical patients. The effect may be small or hard to measure.
