Our objective was to compare the difference in anxiety levels self-reported by patients and those estimated by health care assistants and nurses in two ambulatory surgery settings.
We performed a prospective study.
Patients' preoperative anxiety was graded using a visual analog scale.
Between September 1 and November 31, 2019, a total of fifteen health care assistants and fourteen nurses assessed anxiety scores of 170 patients, including 92 women and 78 men. At admission, the mean visual analog scale anxiety score declared to health care assistants and nurses was 5.3 (SD = 2.9) and 4.2 (SD = 3.1), respectively (P = .02). The correlation between health care assistants' assessment of the patients' anxiety and the declared level of anxiety was significantly higher than nurses' assessment (r = 0.83 vs r = 0.12; P < .001).
Nurse assistants estimate patients' preoperative anxiety with more accuracy than nurses in our hospital. Nursing education curriculum should continue to include addressing preoperative patient anxiety.
本研究旨在比较两种门诊手术环境下,患者自我报告的焦虑水平与医护助理和护士评估的焦虑水平之间的差异。
前瞻性研究。
采用视觉模拟评分法评估患者术前焦虑程度。
2019 年 9 月 1 日至 11 月 31 日,共 15 名医护助理和 14 名护士评估了 170 名患者的焦虑评分,其中女性 92 名,男性 78 名。入院时,医护助理和护士报告的平均视觉模拟评分焦虑值分别为 5.3(SD=2.9)和 4.2(SD=3.1)(P=0.02)。医护助理评估患者焦虑程度与患者自我报告的焦虑程度之间的相关性显著高于护士(r=0.83 与 r=0.12;P<0.001)。
与护士相比,医护助理在评估患者术前焦虑方面更为准确。护理教育课程应继续包括处理术前患者焦虑的内容。
