Summary

Client-nurse interaction significantly reduced postoperative anxiety in cholecystectomy patients. While pain scores were unaffected, enhanced preoperative instruction models improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Patient Care
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Preoperative instruction is crucial for surgical patients.
  • Client-nurse interaction is an under-researched aspect of preoperative care.
  • Effective preoperative strategies can mitigate postoperative pain and anxiety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of client-nurse interaction on preoperative instruction.
  • To compare three intervention models: Facilitator, Informational, and Routine Treatment.
  • To assess the effects on postoperative pain and anxiety in cholecystectomy patients.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental design with 91 cholecystectomy patients.
  • Comparison of Facilitator, Informational, and Routine Treatment intervention groups.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Measurement of postoperative pain and anxiety levels.

    • Main Results:

    • Both Facilitator and Informational groups reported significantly less postoperative anxiety than the Routine Treatment group.
    • No significant differences in anxiety levels were found between the Facilitator and Informational groups.
    • No significant differences in postoperative pain scores were observed among the three groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Client-nurse interaction, particularly providing sensation information and exercise instruction, is important for reducing postoperative anxiety.
    • The Facilitator model may require refinement to enhance its problem-solving aspects.
    • Further research is recommended to optimize preoperative intervention strategies.
