Preoperative anxiety is a common issue experienced by patients before undergoing general surgery. This anxiety can negatively impact patients' physiological and psychological conditions and affect postoperative outcomes. A preoperative education program has been implemented as part of community service at the hospital to reduce patient anxiety. This study aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative education on the anxiety levels of patients undergoing general surgery. The method used is a quantitative approach with a pre-test and post-test design. The results show that preoperative education significantly reduces patients' anxiety levels before surgery. Thus, preoperative education can be an effective intervention to improve patients' mental preparedness before undergoing surgical procedures.

Safe anesthesia monitoring is a crucial aspect of medical procedures to ensure patient safety during anesthesia administration. A lack of knowledge and skills among healthcare professionals in anesthesia monitoring can increase the risk of complications and undesirable side effects. The educational program on safe anesthesia monitoring in healthcare facilities aims to enhance medical professionals' knowledge, skills, and awareness in implementing appropriate monitoring standards. This study employs a descriptive approach to evaluate the effectiveness of the educational program through interactive training methods, clinical simulations, and competency-based assessments. The results indicate that the provided education significantly improves participants' understanding of safe anesthesia monitoring principles and reduces errors in clinical practice. Therefore, education on safe anesthesia monitoring should be an integral part of medical training to enhance healthcare quality and patient safety..
