The Effect of Perceived Preoperative Nursing Care and Surgical Anxiety on Postoperative Recovery

Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted as a cross-sectional and correlational study to determine the effects of preoperative perceived nursing care and surgical anxiety on postoperative recovery. Materials and Methods: The population of the study consisted of 405 patients who were treated in the general surgery and urology clinics of two hospitals in Turkey between January and December 2023. Personal information form, Care Behavior Scale-24 (CBS-24), Surgical Anxiety Questionnaire (SAQ), and Postoperative Recovery Index (PoRI) were used to collect data. Results: The total mean score of the participants included in the study was 3.19±1.07 in the PoRI, 3.29±2.02 in the CBS-24, and 46.56±7.90 in the SAQ. According to the results of multiple linear regression analysis, the postoperative recovery status of patients undergoing surgical intervention is affected by care behaviors, income status and surgical anxiety levels. Conclusion: It was determined that the patients included in this study had great difficulty in recovery and experienced anxiety despite their perception of care being adequate. It was concluded that as the patients' perception of care increased, the difficulty in recovery decreased, and as their anxiety increased, the difficulty in recovery increased.

Ameliyat Öncesi Algılanan Hemşirelik Bakımı ve Cerrahi Anksiyetenin Ameliyat Sonrası İyileşmeye Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma ameliyat öncesi algılanan hemşirelik bakımı ve cerrahi anksiyetenin ameliyat sonrası iyileşmeye etkisini belirlemek amacıyla kesitsel ve ilişki arayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini Ocak-Aralık 2023 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’de bulunan iki hastanenin genel cerrahi ve üroloji kliniklerinde tedavi gören 405 hasta oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında kişisel bilgi formu, Bakım Davranışları Ölçeği-24 (BDÖ), Cerrahi Anksiyete Ölçeği (CAÖ) ve Ameliyat Sonrası İyileşme İndeksi (ASİİ) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamına alınan hastaların ASİİ toplam puan ortalaması 3.19±1.07, BDÖ toplam puan ortalaması 3.29±2.02 ve CAÖ toplam puanı 46.56±7.90 olarak bulundu. Çoklu lineer regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre cerrahi girişim geçiren hastaların ameliyat sonrası iyileşme durumlarını; bakım davranışları, gelir durumu ve cerrahi anksiyete düzeyleri etkilemektedir. Sonuç: Bu araştırma kapsamına alınan hastaların iyileşmede çok güçlük yaşadığı, bakım algılarının yeterli olmasına rağmen anksiyete deneyimledikleri belirlendi. Hastaların bakım algıları arttıkça iyileşme güçlüğünün azaldığı, anksiyeteleri arttıkça iyileşme güçlüğünün arttığı sonucuna varıldı.
