Conducted at Nakornping Hospital between November 2024 and March 2025, the study purposively recruited 15 participants with burn or scald injuries scheduled for surgical treatment. The research tools included a preoperative preparation visit program. Data collection instruments consisted of general information questionnaire, a Spielberger’s State Anxiety Inventory, a preoperative preparation satisfaction survey. All tools were validated by three experts, yielding Content Validity Indices (CVI) of 0.90 and 0.86, respectively, and acceptable reliability coefficients (α = 0.92 and 0.81). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test.</p> <p>The results showed that participants exhibited a statistically significant reduction in anxiety scores (p &lt; .01) following the preoperative visits compared to baseline. Participants also reported high satisfaction levels with the preoperative preparation visits.</p> <p>This study underscores the value of preoperative psychological preparation in alleviating anxiety among burn and scald injury patients. The findings suggest that integrating such preparatory visits into standard practice could enhance preoperative care quality and patient outcomes.</p> Rungnatason Lorworaluck Pakkawarun Pratheepthong Tassanee Watcharachan Copyright (c) 2025 Suranaree University of Technology https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2025-05-15 2025-05-15 3 1
