Background: Preoperative anxiety has significant effect on anesthesia in both physiological and psychological outcome. There is no specific tools to evaluate in preoperative anxiety in Thai, recently. Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale (APAIS) is an effective worldwidely used toolwhich is interested to be study in evaluating pre operative anxiety in Thai patients. Objective: To translate APAIS into Thai and validate the relidate the reliability of questionnaires in Thai patients. Material and Method: APAIS comprised of 6 questions, two in anesthesia related anxiety, twoin surgical related anxiety and in information desire component . The translation validation was done in forward and backward translation. The sample size was calculated and 34 patients who were scheduled for surgery answered the Thai APAIS on the before operation. The validity was determined bycorrelation between the Spielberger's State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI form y-1) and APAIS (r>0.6,p‹0.01). The internal consistency was evaluated by Cronbach's α ≥ 0.07. Results: Thirty four patients (15 male and 19 female) enrolled in the study . The moderate correlationbetween STAI-state score and APAIS was show, anesthesia-related anxiety (sum A) ,r=0.57;surgery-related anxiety (Sum S), r=0.48: total anxiety score (sum C) , r=0.57; and information desire component (IDC), r=0.42. High reliability with Cronbach's alpha of 0.88 was found in overallcomponent, 0.87 in the anxiety component and in the information requirement component. The information desire component showed well correlation with APAIS (SUM A) , but less in STAI -state (IDC vs. STAI-state, SUM C = 0.42, 0.62, relatively). Conclusion: APAIS Thai version, has consistently reliable correlation with the golg standard STAI-state. The application of APAIS can be use for screening and further studies.
