    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-04-21) Ponce Rosales, Nicoll Alexandra; Uturunco Vera, Milagros Lizbeth
    The objective was to determine the relationship between the level of information and the degree of anxiety in preoperative patients at the CIRLAP Clinic in Lima – 2021. The methodology followed a quantitative, descriptive correlational, and cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 80 patients, with a sample of 70, using non-probabilistic sampling. The results indicated a correlation, as the Spearman coefficient was 0.439, confirming a moderate and negative relationship between the variables. This means that as a preoperative patient is less informed, their anxiety level will be higher or more severe, and vice versa. Of the 70 preoperative patients at CIRLAP Clinic in Lima – 2021, 8.6% had low information and moderate anxiety, 58.6% had low information and severe anxiety, 1.4% with medium information had moderate anxiety, and 1.4% had medium information and severe anxiety. When the information level was high, 1.4% had moderate anxiety and 1.4% had severe anxiety, with a significance value of p= 0.000 < 0.05. Conclusion: A significant correlation between both variables was found. Additionally, a significant correlation was observed between the level of information regarding the type of surgery and the level of anxiety in preoperative patients. However, no correlation was found between the level of information regarding preoperative care assistance and the anxiety level in preoperative patients. Similarly, there was no relationship between the level of information regarding hospitalization time and the level of anxiety in preoperative patients. Finally, a significant relationship was found between the level of information regarding postoperative care and the degree of anxiety in preoperative patients.
