Summary: | A patient who is admitted or is going to be operated, feels himself in a reality that might be perceived as a threat, and therefore, might cause an anxiety feeling.Giving emotional support and information is essential to allow the patient to express his anxiety feelings before surgery. Several studies analyze some specific interventions effects as presurgical visit over anxiety or which interventions should be made in order to reduce the patient’s anxiety before surgery.The aim of this study is to know if some specific interventions carried out by nurses during surgery reduce the patient’s anxiety when being operated.So, a randomised controlled trial has been designed, composed by two groups of patients who are going to be operated. The experimental group will be composed by those patients who will be operated with a kind of anaesthesia that allows the established interventions developed and the control one will be composed by those patients to whom another kind of anaesthesia will be administrated and this will not allow the Nursing interventions.
