It is generally recognized that the stress of hospitalization and hospital treatment can impede the recovery of patients and in some cases cause potentially life-threatening physiological changes. Previous studies have indicated that nurses do not accurately perceive worry, anxiety and stress in patients. In order to assess how accurately nurses perceive worry, anxiety and stress in their patients, questionnaires were designed and distributed to a group of preoperative patients and nursing staff from general surgical wards, in order to discover how closely these two groups considered various situations and events as causing worry in preoperative patients. The results showed that whilst there was a considerable level of agreement between the two groups for the rank order of the 26 items in the questionnaire, nursing staff consistently assessed patients as worrying considerably more than the patients actually reported themselves. The nurses in the study were therefore over-estimating the degree of worry, anxiety and stress in their patients.
人们普遍认为，住院和医院治疗带来的压力会阻碍患者康复，在某些情况下还会引发潜在的危及生命的生理变化。此前的研究表明，护士无法准确感知患者的担忧、焦虑和压力。为了评估护士对患者的担忧、焦虑和压力的感知有多准确，设计了问卷并分发给一组普通外科病房的术前患者和护理人员，以了解这两组人认为各种情况和事件在多大程度上会导致术前患者担忧。结果显示，虽然两组对问卷中26个项目的排序有相当程度的一致，但护理人员始终认为患者的担忧程度比患者实际报告的要高得多。因此，该研究中的护士高估了患者的担忧、焦虑和压力程度。
