The anxiety and the efficiency of premedication were accessed according to Korach's and Spilberger's scales and according to the special psychological questionnaire. The quantitative characteristics of premedication were given baised on the psychological tests results. There was registered a definite improvement of health characteristics and of patient's mood in comparison to the initial input data as well as lower lever of their situational anxiety.
