    Hospitalized patients

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Psychology
    • Medical-Surgical Care

    Background:

    • Patient classification is crucial for effective healthcare.
    • Understanding stress adaptation potential is key in medical-surgical settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To reliably classify hospitalized medical-surgical patients by stress adaptation potential.
    • To investigate the link between adaptive potential and hospital stay duration.

    Main Methods:

    • Random sampling of 46 medical-surgical patients.
    • Classification into three adaptive potential states: Alarm, Impoverished (stress states), and Equilibrium (nonstress state).
    • Utilized physiological and psychological parameters for classification.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Successfully distinguished between stress and nonstress states using physiological data.
    • Psychological parameters were necessary to differentiate between the two stress states (Alarm vs. Impoverished).
    • Adaptive potential classification predicted resource mobilization capabilities.

    Conclusions:

    • A reliable classification of patient adaptive potential to stress is feasible.
    • Adaptive potential influences patient outcomes, including length of hospitalization.
    • Integrating psychological assessments enhances stress state differentiation.
