The level of STAI-I in the study group was significantly reduced after briefing (p=0.015).Conclusion: Based on the findings of the presented study, it has been shown that anxiety was reduced with preoperative briefing of the patients.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯

Objective & Hypothesis:Background: In this study we investigated the effects of preoperative briefing on the anxiety levels of cardiac surgery patients.Methods: With the approval of the hospital ethics committee, patients hospitalized in the cardiac surgery clinic who were scheduled to undergo cardiac surgery were interviewed in detail about patient demographics by means of the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI).

📊

Key Findings & Data:While the study group (n=50) received preoperative briefing, the control group (n=50) did not.Results: No difference was observed between groups in terms of age, sex, marital status, income level, occupation, and place of birth (p>0.05).

💡

Conclusion & Impact:The level of STAI-I in the study group was significantly reduced after briefing (p=0.015).Conclusion: Based on the findings of the presented study, it has been shown that anxiety was reduced with preoperative briefing of the patients.

Abstract

Background: In this study we investigated the effects of preoperative briefing on the anxiety levels of cardiac surgery patients.Methods: With the approval of the hospital ethics committee, patients hospitalized in the cardiac surgery clinic who were scheduled to undergo cardiac surgery were interviewed in detail about patient demographics by means of the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI). While the study group (n=50) received preoperative briefing, the control group (n=50) did not.Results: No difference was observed between groups in terms of age, sex, marital status, income level, occupation, and place of birth (p>0.05). Similarly, no difference was observed between these variables and STAI scores. No difference was observed between groups in terms of pre STAI-I and pre STAI-II levels. The level of STAI-I in the study group was significantly reduced after briefing (p=0.015).Conclusion: Based on the findings of the presented study, it has been shown that anxiety was reduced with preoperative briefing of the patients.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, kalp cerrahisi geçirecek hastalara ameliyat öncesi dönemde yapılan bilgilendirmenin anksiyete üzerine etkileri araştırıldı.Çalışma planı: Hastane Etik Kurul onayı ile kalp cerrahisi kliniğinde kalp ameliyatı programlanan ve hastaneye yatışı yapılan hastalara durumluk-sürekli anksiyete envanteri (state-trait anxiety inventory; STAI) ile ayrıntılı demografik sorgulama yapıldı. Ameliyat öncesinde çalışma grubu (n=50) bilgilendirilirken, kontrol grubu (n=50) bilgilendirilmedi.Bulgular: Yaş, cinsiyet, medeni hal, gelir düzeyi, meslek ve doğum yeri verileri açısından gruplar arasında farklılık saptanmadı (p>0.05). Benzer şekilde bu değişkenlerle STAI skorları arasında da farklılık saptanmadı. İlk ölçülen STAI-I ve ilk ölçülen STAI-II düzeyleri için gruplar arasında fark bulunmadı. Bilgilendirme yapılan grupta STAI-I düzeyleri, bilgilendirme sonrası dönemde anlamlı düşüş gösterdi (p=0.015).Sonuç: Bu çalışmada elde edilen bulgulara göre, hastaların ameliyat öncesi bilgilendirilmesi ile anksiyetenin azaldığı gösterilmiştir.
