About this study

A questionnaire was used to determine patient characteristics and perception of anesthesia/anesthesiologist, as well as fears and concerns related to anesthesia. This descriptive-analytic study was based on opinions and information provided before and after anesthesia by individuals who were hospitalized in the Botucatu Medical School (BMS) Hospital to undergo surgery under anesthesia administered by the Anesthesiology Service of BMS Department of Anesthesiology. A questionnaire including structured questions aimed at determining patient characteristics (age, gender, race, marital status, education level, birthplace, provenance, surgical service of origin, occupation, history of anesthesia exposure) and perceptions of anesthesiologists/anesthesia, as well as open-ended questions that allowed respondents to add free comments, recorded as spoken, about their concerns before and after anesthesia. The post-anesthesia interview also included questions regarding the administration of pre-anesthetic drugs, recall of the anesthesiologist in the operating room, satisfaction with the care provided by the anesthesiologist.
