Objective  To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) in preoperative anxiety in patients with local anesthesia. Methods  From May to December 2020, a convenient sampling method was used to conduct an APAIS questionnaire survey on patients undergoing percutaneous renal biopsy in the Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, and the reliability and validity of the scale were analyzed. Results A total of 460 questionnaires were distributed and 444 valid questionnaires were returned, with a valid response rate of 96.5%. The Cronbach α of APAIS was 0.896, the Guttman split-half reliability was 0.811, and the content validity index was 0.891. The model fit was 12.122 for the chi-square fit index/degree of freedom, 0.916 for the goodness-of-fit index, 0.902 for the value-added fit index, 0.079 for the root mean square error of approximation, and 0.946 for the comparative fit index. The APAIS anxiety subscale score was positively correlated with the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale score (r=0.518, P<0.001). Conclusion  The APAIS has good reliability and validity for evaluating the level of preoperative anxiety in patients with local anesthesia, but the application of the scale in other conditions requires further testing.
