Spielberger (1972) identified two types of anxiety : (1) state anxiety which is general in nature and (2) transit anxiety which is specific. The purpose of this study was to analayze state anxiety experienced by hospitalized patients and to find related factors such as demographic variables and hospital conditions. A questionnaire was given to 257 adult inpatients at two medical facilities. Responses were collected from 227 patients (88.3%). One hundred sesuenty three patients completed all questions including those intended to assess state anxiety (using the KANGAKU version of STAI) and questions concerning factors related to state anxiety : e.g. demographic variables, self-awareness, consciousness about hospitalization, patients' perception of their relationship to nurses, and conditions of hospital stay. The state anxiety scores varied greatly among individual patients. State anxiety of inpatients was correlated significantly with age, marital status, length of planned hospital stay, degree of forced rest, self-awareness, discomfort in social conditions, their consciousness about hospital stay, and patients' perception of their relationship to nurses. These results suggest that an active intervention by nurses is nesessary for reducing the leuel of state anxiety in hospitalized patients.
