Read our Anxiety research guide →This research study is asking people who have never had anesthesia before to share their feelings about surgery and being put to sleep. By answering simple surveys before your surgery and again one week later, you'll help doctors understand how patients' fears and anxiety about anesthesia change after they actually experience it.
Many people feel nervous or scared before their first surgery and anesthesia, but doctors don't fully understand how those feelings change after the experience. This study will help us learn whether people's fears get better, worse, or stay the same after they've gone through surgery—information that could help doctors support anxious patients in the future.

You would fill out a brief paper survey before your surgery asking about your fears and worries about anesthesia. Then, about one week after your surgery, a researcher would call you to ask similar questions over the phone. The surveys take just a few minutes to complete, and the study is finished after that follow-up phone call.
