<p><span style="line-height:2;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span sans-serif=""><span style="color:#2980b9;"><b><i><span new="" roman="" times="">Background:</span></i></b></span> <span new="" roman="" times="">Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problem and among the leading causes of disability worldwide. Patients undergoing surgery often experience varying degrees of anxiety. Management of pre-anesthesia anxiety and related factors is an essential and integral part of preoperative nursing care. </span></span></span><br>

<span new="" roman="" times=""><span style="color:#2980b9;"><b><i>Methods:</i></b></span><span style="color:black"> This review was conducted based on searching in PubMed, Web of Science, ProQuest, Scopus, Science Direct databases, and Google Scholar motor engine using the main keywords Anxiety and Anesthesia, and Surgery from 2000 to 2022.

<span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span sans-serif=""><span style="color:#2980b9;"><b><i><span new="" roman="" times="">Conclusion:</span></i></b></span><span new="" roman="" times=""> The findings of studies reviewed in the present study indicate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological modalities for the management of patient anxiety, particularly preoperative anxiety. Therefore, it is recommended to consider these interventions as safe, effective, and simple alternatives to pharmacological approaches for reducing patient anxiety. Patient-based interventions are the most important approach to reducing patient anxiety, and nurses should be receptive to the patients’ thoughts and beliefs preoperatively. The majority of studies reviewed in the present study were in this category. The care procedures performed by nurses and other healthcare staff should be based on the needs, values, and preferences of patients.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
