The study investigates the effect of adverse event information on adverse event occurrence in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery in a two-armed, randomized study. One group will receive standard information about adverse events; the second group will receive a standardised elaboration of the standard information. Hypothesis: Elaborated information about adverse events will increase adverse event occurrence, mediated by expectations and anxiety, and moderated by coping style.
If quality assessment indicates that the protocol was not followed adequately, participants will be excluded from data analysis.
