About this study

Participants' demographic characteristics (age, gender, occupation, education level, income, marital status) will be recorded.

All patients will complete the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I) before and after watching an AI-generated preoperative information video that explains anesthesia options and the perioperative process.

Their anesthesia preference, satisfaction, and knowledge level will also be assessed before and after the video.

The study aims to determine whether AI-based video education can reduce preoperative anxiety, alter anesthesia preference, and improve patient satisfaction and understanding.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

Change in anesthesia preference

Time frame: Baseline (before the AI-assisted video information) and immediately after the AI-assisted video information, within the preoperative assessment period.

The impact of artificial intelligence-based video training on anesthesia preference will be evaluated.
Change in Preoperative Anxiety Score (STAI-I)

Time frame: Baseline (before the AI-assisted video information) and immediately after the AI-assisted video information, within the preoperative assessment period

To evaluate whether AI-based video education reduces preoperative anxiety. The State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I) is a validated self-report instrument consisting of 20 items assessing situational anxiety. Scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety. A higher score reflects a worse outcome.
