Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Psychological Medicine

Background:

  • Preoperative anxiety is a common issue for patients undergoing anesthesia.
  • Standard preoperative evaluations help reduce this anxiety.
  • The BATHE method's efficacy in further reducing anxiety requires investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if the BATHE method can further decrease anxiety scores in patients evaluated at an anesthesia clinic.
  • To compare the anxiety-reducing effects of the BATHE method versus standard preoperative evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Patients were randomized into BATHE and Control groups.
  • State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores were measured before and after evaluation.
  • The BATHE method was applied only to the BATHE group.

Main Results:

  • A total of 463 patients were analyzed, with similar demographics across groups.
  • Both groups showed a decrease in STAI scores post-evaluation.
  • The reduction in STAI scores was significantly greater in the BATHE group (3.94±6.05) compared to the Control group (2.19±6.14) (p<0.001).

Conclusions:

  • The BATHE method significantly reduces preoperative anxiety more than standard evaluations.
  • The BATHE method is an effective intervention for managing patient anxiety before anesthesia.
