Patients exhibiting high-level anxiety should be identified preoperatively, and their anxiety levels reduced via anxiolyticpremedication.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

Abstract

Objective: To determine whether psychological variables such as preoperative anxiety can serve as predictors for the postoperative painresponse.Methods: Thity two consecutive patients who undergoing tonsillectomy were evaluated in the pre- and postoperative periods.Preoperative anxiety was assessed by the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Index. The severity of pain was recorded with a ten-point Visual Analog Scale at the immediate postoperative and at late postoperative period.Result: The mean Spielberger STAI score was 44.2 ± 9.86 (range: 29?69). The mean VAS score was 4.33 ± 1.9 in the immediatepostoperative period and 3.95 ± 1.8 in the late postoperative period. State anxiety and postoperative pain were positively correlated.Preoperative state anxiety significantly (positively) predicted immediate postoperative pain.Conclusion: We found that it was important to pay attention to the psychological characteristics of patients for whom tonsillectomy wasplanned. Patients exhibiting high-level anxiety should be identified preoperatively, and their anxiety levels reduced via anxiolyticpremedication.

Özet

Amaç: Ameliyat öncesi anksiyete gibi psikolojik değişkenlerin postoperatif ağrı yanıtı için belirleyici olup olmadığının belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç-Yöntem: Çalışmaya tonsillektomi uygulanan otuz iki hasta dahil edildi. Hastalar ameliyat öncesi anksiyete ameliyat sonrası ise ağrı yönünden incelendi. Hastalara ayrıca sosyodemografik özellikleri içeren bir anket uygulandı. Ameliyat öncesi anksiyete düzeyi Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Index(STAI) anketi ile ölçüldü. Ameliyat sonrası ağrı şiddeti ise erken ve geç postoperatif dönemde on birimden oluşan Vizüel Analog Skala(VAS) ile kaydedildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 32 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmaya katılan hastaların 19 (%59,3)"u bayan 13 (%40,7) i erkekti. Yaş ortalaması erkekler için 27.1 ± 2.7 (dağılım 18-43) yıl, bayanlarda 24.7 ± 1.4 (dağılım 18-38) yıl idi. STAI skor ortalaması 44.2 ± 9.86 (29- 69) idi. Ortalama VAS skoru erken postoperatif dönemde 4,33 ± 1,9, geç postoperatif dönemde ise 3,95 ± 1,8 idi.. Preoperatif anksiyete ile postoperatif ağrı arasında pozitif korelasyon bulundu. Preoperatif anksiyete skorunun erken postoperatif dönem ağrı için güçlü prediktif değeri olduğu görüldü. Sonuç: Bu çalışma tonsillektomi uygulanacak hastaların psikolojik koşullarına daha fazla dikkat etmeyi motive etmektedir. Preoperatif değerlendirme sırasında yüksek anksiyeteye sahip hastalar belirlenmelidir. Hastalar endişelerini azaltacak yaklaşımlarla bilgilendirilmeli, ayrıca anksiyolitik premedikasyonla da anksiyete düzeyleri azaltılmalıdır. Psikolojik belirtilerin eş zamanlı tedavisinin cerrahi tedavilerin sonucunu iyileştirebileceği değerlendirilmektedir.
