Anxiety is a product of helplessness. Admission to hospital precipitates this by disturbing patients' integrity with their life-context. Anxiety is relative to the patient's sense of control, yet preoperative visiting which is meant to be caring may be perceived by the surgical patient as being controlled. The visit is influenced by personalized contact, the structure of the visit and the philosophy behind the preoperative visiting programme. The building of a quality relationship lays a foundation for quality caring, and challenges the visiting nurse to be less directive and more reciprocal, responding appropriately as the patient steers the course of the visit.
焦虑是无助的产物。住院破坏了患者与其生活背景的完整性，从而引发焦虑。焦虑与患者的控制感相关，然而，原本旨在关怀的术前访视可能会被手术患者视为一种控制。访视受到个性化接触、访视结构以及术前访视计划背后理念的影响。建立高质量的关系为高质量的关怀奠定基础，并促使访视护士减少指令性、增加互动性，在患者引导访视过程时做出恰当回应。
