Surgery and anesthesia are stressful events which may cause anxiety to the patients. Patients with major surgery will be given general anesthesia which has complications, so it is necessary to provide understanding and pre-surgery physical exercises that are useful for post-surgery recovery. The pre-surgical physical activity given was in the form of deep breathing, productive cough, and range of motion (ROM) exercises. The objective of the research was to determine the effect of pre-surgical physical activities on post-surgery consciousness recovery. This research used quasi-experiment research with the post-test only design. The study population was the average client with general anesthesia in a national hospital in Semarang City, Indonesia. Data analysis was performed using an independent t-test, Pearson Correlation, and multiple linear regression test. The results showed a significant effect on the group given pre-surgical physical exercise on post-surgery consciousness recovery (p = 0.011). Based on Pearson's analysis, there was no significant relationship between anxiety and age with post-surgery consciousness recovery. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that 14.9% of consciousness recovery is affected by pre-surgical physical exercise, anxiety, and age.
