I Am [Adjective] What

"I am confused what happened."
"I am uncertain what happened."
"I am unaware what happened."
"I am unsure what happened."
"I am sorry what happened."
"I am disappointed what happened."

Do I need some preposition between the adjective and "what" in some of those sentences?

" Strictly speaking, not all of your examples require a preposition. However, the appropriate preposition would make each of your examples a better sentence - especially if written.

Yes, try to fit one of these into your sentences. As stand, they look and sound incomplete:
"By", "about".
