Preoperative anxiety is a prevalent concern with deleterious effects in patient recovery and is not routinely assessed in the preoperative screening process. When it is assessed, it may prompt an increase in the use of anesthetic agents, heightened postoperative pain, and prolonged hospitalization. Preoperative women with breast cancer face anxiety as it relates to anesthesia, surgery, and recovery. The preoperative anxiety visual analog scale may identify and quantify anxiety in this population, provide advocacy and support, and improve the preoperative screening process.
术前焦虑是一个普遍存在的问题，对患者康复有有害影响，且在术前筛查过程中未被常规评估。当对其进行评估时，可能会促使麻醉剂使用增加、术后疼痛加剧以及住院时间延长。患有乳腺癌的术前女性面临与麻醉、手术和康复相关的焦虑。术前焦虑视觉模拟量表可以识别和量化该人群的焦虑程度，提供支持和帮助，并改善术前筛查过程。
