| description | Introduction: Anxiety is one of the problems in patients
undergoing invasive procedures. One way to control anxiety is
through psychological preparation.
Aim: This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of psychological
preparation on anxiety level in patients undergoing upper
gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Materials and Methods: The present study consisted of 98
patients which were referred to Ahvaz Golestan Hospital for
upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. They were randomly (table
of random numbers) divided into a control group and an
experimental group. All of the participants filled out Spielberg
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The experimental group
was psychologically prepared for endoscopy (given information
about endoscopy and behavioural intervention), and then both
groups were asked to complete STAI again an hour before
endoscopy. The collected data were analysed through MannWhitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Chi-square tests using SPSS
17.0.
Results: Before the intervention was carried out, there was no
significant difference between the two groups in terms of the
rate of state and trait anxiety (p>0.05). After the intervention, the
rate of state and trait anxiety decreased significantly (p<0.05) in
experimental group.
Conclusion: In patients subjected to endoscopy, psychological
preparation was effective in reducing their anxiety and thus
this can be considered as an efficient method in decreasing
anxiety. |
