The goal of this observational study is to understand how fear and anxiety felt by anesthesia-naive patients compares before versus after their scheduled surgery. Patients who are scheduled to undergo a low-risk surgery/procedure and have never had anesthesia before will be asked to: 1. Fill out a survey before their surgery in the perioperative setting 2. Answer follow-up questions over the phone a few days after their surgery.
Patients that fit the inclusion/exclusion criteria and consent to the study will fill out a paper survey that is an adapted version of the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) along with additional questions related to anesthesia anxiety for secondary analysis. 7 days (+/-72 hours) after the patient's surgery, they will complete a follow-up survey over the phone that is an adapted version of the APAIS. Results will be recorded on paper and then uploaded into REDCap for data analysis.
