Emotional and psychological surgical preparation plays an important role in many areas of nursing. However, it varies greatly in terms of its perception and delivery. The aim of this article is to familiarize the reader with the concept of emotional and psychological preparation for surgery and to explain how this may be achieved in nursing practice. It highlights that gender, age, and previous experiences are predisposing factors to preoperative anxiety, as is fear of the unknown and fear of harm. It is recommended that information should be given verbally with written supplements and that the patient should be encouraged to ask questions. Diversion therapy such as music, humour and guided imagery have been shown to be effective in reducing patients' preoperative anxiety.
情绪和心理手术准备在护理的许多领域都起着重要作用。然而，其认知和实施方式差异很大。本文旨在使读者熟悉手术情绪和心理准备的概念，并解释在护理实践中如何实现这一点。文章强调，性别、年龄和既往经历是术前焦虑的诱发因素，对未知的恐惧和对伤害的恐惧也是如此。建议以口头方式提供信息并辅以书面材料，同时鼓励患者提问。音乐、幽默和引导想象等转移疗法已被证明在减轻患者术前焦虑方面有效。
