Open-heart surgery in persons with cardiovascular disease is associated with high levels of anxiety.
The goal of this study was to determine the effect of digital storytelling on anxiety in patients who were candidates for open-heart surgery.
In this quasi-experimental study, 80 patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups. The intervention group received routine training and digital storytelling. In each group, anxiety was measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory anxiety scale before surgery and 5 days after surgery. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software V18.
There was no significant difference in the anxiety of both groups during the 2 days before the surgery (P = .40). After the surgery, the mean of anxiety scores in the intervention group was lower than that of the control group (P < .001).
Digital storytelling is an effective method to reduce anxiety in patients who are candidates for open-heart surgery.
患有心血管疾病的人进行心脏直视手术会伴随高度焦虑。
本研究旨在确定数字化故事讲述对心脏直视手术候选患者焦虑的影响。
在这项准实验研究中,将 80 名患者随机分为两组。干预组接受常规培训和数字化故事讲述。在每组中,在手术前和手术后 5 天,通过状态-特质焦虑量表评估焦虑。使用 SPSS 软件 V18 分析收集的数据。
手术前 2 天,两组的焦虑程度没有显著差异(P =.40)。手术后,干预组的焦虑评分均值低于对照组(P <.001)。
数字化故事讲述是降低心脏直视手术候选患者焦虑的有效方法。
