This research study looks at how fear and anxiety before surgery might affect your pain levels and recovery afterward. Researchers will ask you to fill out short questionnaires before your surgery to measure how worried or anxious you feel, then track your pain and healing after the procedure. The goal is to understand whether identifying nervous patients beforehand could help doctors provide better pain management and support.
Many patients feel scared or anxious before surgery, but doctors don't always have a clear way to predict how these feelings might affect pain and recovery. By studying this connection, researchers hope to identify patients who need extra support and develop better ways to help people heal more smoothly after their operation.

Before your scheduled surgery, you will complete two short questionnaires asking about your fears and anxiety related to anesthesia, surgery, and hospitals. After your operation, researchers will check in with you to ask about your pain levels and how you are recovering, continuing until you are ready to leave the hospital. The entire study participation takes place around your normal surgical care, with no additional procedures or treatments required.
