Abstract :
Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate preoperative and postoperative anxiety and effects of anxiety on the postoperative pain and analgesic consumption in nasal septoplasty. Methods: One hundred ninety three volunteered patients completed the Spielberger’s State -Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S and T) before the operation. It were recorded the age, gender, education level, settlement place of the patients, previous history of any operation, methods of anaesthesia. It were used the STAI-S to evaluate the anxiety levels and a 10 cm linear VAS (0=none to 10=intolerable) to measure pain levels postoperatively. Postoperative analgesic consumtion were recorded. Results: In this study, we found that STAI-T scores are higher in women. There was no relation between the methods of anaesthesia and the STAI and VAS scores. Postoperative pain and analgesic consumption did not correlate with STAI scores and VAS scores. Conclusion: Preoperative and postoperative anxiety has no effects on the postoperatve pain levels and analgesic consumption in septoplasty as a minor procedure and a out-patient surgery.
