| description | Patients undergoing surgery still claimed that they received inadequate
preoperative information. Even though, it is a common procedure for many surgical
procedures, information needs is often overlooked, this usually lead to anxiety
preoperative phase. The goal of this descriptive cross sectional study is to determine the
preoperative information received, level of its importance and anxiety level among the
surgical patients at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (Hospital USM). This study also
examined the association between anxiety level and types of surgery and the difference
importance level of preoperative information between male and female. A total of 61
surgical patients who were recruited from surgical wards Hospital USM in this study
using purposive sampling. Data were collected from February to March 2013 using self
administered Ambulatory Surgical Patients" Perception of Preoperative reaching and Spielberg Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to measure preoperative information received, level of its importance and anxiety level. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20 for frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and p-value. Ethical approval was obtained from Research Ethics Community (Human). (USM). Majority preoperative
Information received by the surgery patients was at the low level (M-- 5.115.
SD= 1.066). Importance level of preoperative information receive by the surgery
patients were at moderate level (M-92.37. SD= 10.075). Overall, patients' anxiety level were at moderate level (M=3I.15. SD=12.03). The study found that no significant association between types of surgery and anxiety level (/?=0.343) and also no significant
difference of preoperative information importance level between male and female
(/?=0.376). Surgical patient received inadequate preoperative information, perceived low
level of importance and were having moderate level of anxiety, Thus surgical nurses
need to identify individual information needs and institute a structure preoperative
teaching guideline and provide information to ensure surgical patient received adequate
information before surgery. This will help in eliminating surgery patients’ anxiety
preoperatively. |
