Purpose: We focused on anaesthesia and its impact on patients' mental mood.

Design: We followed the relationship between the occurrence of unpleasant experiences of patients during anaesthesia and demographic data.

Methods: The group consisted of 219 patients after anaesthesia. We administered questionnaires to patients at the University Hospital Bratislava between November 2010 and March 2011.

Results: The most important results are the subsequent investigation of the relationship between individual unpleasant experiences and the age of the patients, where we found statistical significance in unpleasant experiences such as recall without pain (p = 0.015), vomiting (p = 0.029), muscle weakness (p = 0.048), and headache (p = 0.015); and when evaluating the relationship between the incidence of unpleasant experiences and sex, we found a statistically significant relationship in the incidence of nausea (p = 0.000), breathing problems (p = 0.048), vomiting (p = 0.015), pain in the surgical wound (p = 0.001), and muscle weakness (p = 0.003).

Conclusion: Results confirm the relationship between the occurrence of unpleasant experiences of patients during anaesthesia and their demographic data. Based on our findings, we propose creating protocols for preoperative preparation, focusing on identifying the most common unpleasant experiences in patients related to anaesthesia.
