Özet:

 The aim of this study is to examine the effect of e-health literacy on preoperative anxiety levels and fears about anesthesia of individuals who will undergo surgery. The research was carried out with 219 patients waiting in the preoperative waiting unit. The Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety Scale APAIS was used to evaluate the preoperative anesthesia anxiety, the E-Health Literacy Scale was used to determine the e-health literacy, and the questionnaire form was used to determine the fear of anesthesia, which was created by using the items in the literature in previous studies on anesthesia fear. According to the results of the research, the three items that patients fear the most about anesthesia are; feeling pain during surgery, feeling pain after the effect of post-operative anesthesia and waking up in the middle of surgery. There is no significant difference in anesthesia-related fears of patients with low, medium and high e-health literacy, only a significant difference in preoperative anxiety scores between patients with low and high e-health literacy. Study results were interpreted as the ability of individuals with high e-health literacy to evaluate the data obtained through digital channels in terms of reliability prevents them from experiencing unnecessary anxiety based on erroneous information.

 Bireylerin tedavi sürecinde ameliyat kararının alınması çoğu hasta için gerek ameliyatın nasıl geçeceği gerekse ameliyat sürecindeki anestezi uygulamalarıyla ilgili olarak kaygı yaratan bir durumdur. Bu çalışmanın amacı cerrahi operasyon geçirecek bireylerin e-sağlık okuryazarlıklarının preoperatif kaygı düzeylerine ve anesteziye ilişkin korkularına etkisinin incelenmesidir. Araştırma ameliyat öncesi bekleme ünitesinde bekleyen 219 hasta ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hastaların preoperatif anestezi kaygılarının değerlendirilmesinde Amsterdam Preoperatif Kaygı Ölçeği APAIS, e-sağlık okuryazarlıklarının belirlenmesinde E-Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği, anesteziye ilişkin korkularının belirlenmesinde ise literatürde daha önce anestezi korkusu ile ilgili çalışmalarda yer alan korku maddelerinden faydalanılarak oluşturulan anket formu kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca demografik verilerin belirlenmesinde kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre hastaların anestezi ile ilgili en çok korktukları üç madde; ameliyat sırasında ağrıyı hissetmek, ameliyat sonrası anestezinin etkisi geçince ağrı hissetmek ve ameliyatın ortasında uyanmak şeklinde belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca e-sağlık okuryazarlığı düşük hastaların preoperatif kaygılarının e-sağlık okuryazarlığı yüksek olan hastalardan anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir.
