Abstract
What are the most effective information sharing strategies used to reduce anxiety in families of patients undergoing elective surgery?
This review seeks to synthesize the best available evidence in relation to the most effective information-sharing intervention to reduce anxiety for families waiting for patients undergoing an elective surgical procedure.
