Demographic characteristics, social factors, lifestyle information and endoscopy-related data were obtained through self-reports and the hospital information system. The 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7) was used to assess anxiety, while depression and somatization were evaluated using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and PHQ-15, respectively. Sleep quality was measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), social support was assessed using the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and QoL was evaluated through the 12-item Short Form Survey (SF-12).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The prevalence of anxiety before gastrointestinal endoscopy was 34.44%.

Both physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores were reduced.
