This quasi-experimental research aimed to investigate the effects of providing preoperative preparatory information for vascular access for dialysis on anxiety levels and procedural adherence among patients during surgery in the operating room at the tertiary hospital northeast. A total of 72 participants were selected according to specified criteria and divided equally into a control group and an experimental group, with 36 participants in each group. The control group received standard nursing care, while the experimental group received a preoperative preparation information for vascular access for dialysis. Data were collected from June to September 2024. The research instruments included: 1) Data collection instruments consisted of a demographic questionnaire, the Thai version of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Form, and a procedural adherence questionnaire and 2) The research instruments were video clips providing preoperative preparatory information for vascular access for hemodialysis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Paired t-test, Independent t-test and Chi-square test. The results indicated that after the experiment, both groups experienced a statistically significant reduction in anxiety mean scores (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in anxiety mean scores between the experimental and control groups after the experiment (p=0.2768). However, the experimental group demonstrated greater procedural adherence compared to the control group (100% vs. 77.78%, respectively) (p<0.001). It can be concluded that providing preoperative preparation information for vascular access for dialysis helps reduce anxiety and improve procedural adherence, ultimately minimizing postoperative complications. Therefore, the research findings should be utilized in the preparation for surgery in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis
