Science and technology in the health sector are growing rapidly, the options for treating diseases are increasingly diverse, such as surgery. Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) data, the number of patients undergoing surgery has increased significantly from year to year. From the interview results with preoperative patients in the surgical inpatient units of RSUD Banyumas, 6 out of 10 patients who were going to undergo surgery experienced anxiety.
