About this trial
Fear of anesthesia plays a crucial role in the perioperative setting and can negatively affect recovery. The main objective is to assess the relationship between fear of anesthesia, surgeries, and hospitals and poorer postoperative pain control in patients undergoing scheduled surgery, as well as to relate preoperative anxiety to postoperative analgesic assessment in this population.
