Sponsor's own description

The patients were randomized into "Bathe" and "Control" groups by using the closed envelope technique. Demographic data and pre-examination anxiety scores State- Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) are recorded as entrance STAI for all patients. Then they had routine preoperative evaluation. During these procedures, Bathe method was applied to the Bathe Group whereas it was not applied to the Control Group. After that post-examination, STAI scores were recorded as exit STAI and the patients were later asked questions about their contentment.
