[Abstract] Objective To investigate the current status of preoperative anxiety and factors affecting preoperative anxiety in full femtosecond myopic laser surgery. Methods Ninety-two myopic patients were included from February 2021 to January 2024, who were treated with full femtosecond myopic laser surgery, and preoperative anxiety was assessed by Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), and clinical data such as marriage, gender, and degree of myopia were investigated. The influencing factors of preoperative anxiety were analyzed using unifactorial and multifactorial logistic regression. Results Thirty-seven of the 92 patients had significant anxiety, with an anxiety rate of 40.22%. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, marriage, education, degree of myopia, presence of relatives accompanying the patient, side of surgery, and insomnia were significantly correlated with preoperative anxiety (P<0.05). Age and place of residence were not correlated with preoperative anxiety (P>0.05). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that junior high school education and below, severe myopia, no relatives accompanying, and insomnia were influential factors for preoperative anxiety, protective factors for unilateral surgery (P<0.05), and gender and marriage were irrelevant factors (P>0.05). Conclusion Full femtosecond myopic laser surgery is prone to preoperative anxiety. Low education and severe myopia increase the risk of anxiety, and targeted interventions can be used to reduce preoperative anxiety.
