Anxiety and apprehension are common among patients prior to surgery. This anxiety can lead to additional discomfort, increased pain sensation and increased stress symptoms. Virtual exposure has proven to be successful in exposure therapy for the treatment of the narrowest patients. Patients are not confronted with the real stimuli or situations that trigger the branches, but with virtual representations of them. Virtual reality (VR) makes it possible to create scenarios that would not be possible in reality because of the organisational, time or financial expenditure involved.The effectiveness of virtual stimulus exposure is well documented, especially in the case of object or situation-related fears in the context of specific phobias. It is therefore obvious that virtual stimulus exposure could also be suitable for minimising operation-associated fears.The research project described is designed to investigate the effect of virtual stimulus exposure on perioperative anxiety. For this purpose, a virtual tour of the operating setting has been created, which enables patients to explore the surroundings in detail by means of VR glasses.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standardized Anaesthesia briefing | No Intervention | standardised anaesthesia information sessions, consisting of a detailed explanation of the anaesthesia procedure by the anaesthetist A specific information sheet is used to explain the procedure and the form of anaesthesia. This corresponds to the current procedure before an operation. | |
| Virtual reality (VR) tour | Experimental | standardised anaesthesia information sessions, consisting of a detailed explanation of the anaesthesia procedure by the anaesthetist A specific information sheet is used to explain the procedure and the form of anaesthesia.Subsequently, the patients are shown a virtual tour of the operation using VR glasses. This includes the way through the clinic to the operating theatre: Admission -> inpatient preparation for the operation -> administration of premedication -> way to the operating theater -> OP preparation (holding) -> safe surgery |
