A rapid growth in outpatient surgical procedures has been necessary to help alleviate expensive health care costs. Because procedures, such as heart catheterization, require a short patient stay, preparatory information is often structured and delivered concisely. The purpose of this study was to determine if heart catheterization patients who receive guided precatheterization information had reduced stress compared with heart catheterization patients who received structured precatheterization information. Using a two-group pretest/posttest design, 89 subjects were randomly assigned to two different preparatory nursing interventions. Data were collected on outpatients' coping resources and mood states, which served as measures of stress. No significant differences in stress were found between the guided and structured preparatory information groups. The results indicated that a variety of approaches can be used to prepare patients for outpatient heart catheterization procedures.
门诊手术程序的快速增长对于帮助减轻高昂的医疗费用是必要的。因为诸如心脏导管插入术等程序只需患者短暂住院，所以术前准备信息通常结构清晰且简洁明了。本研究的目的是确定接受导管插入术前指导信息的心脏导管插入术患者与接受结构化导管插入术前信息的患者相比，压力是否有所减轻。采用两组前测/后测设计，将89名受试者随机分配到两种不同的术前护理干预措施中。收集了门诊患者的应对资源和情绪状态数据，这些数据作为压力的衡量指标。在接受指导的术前信息组和结构化术前信息组之间，未发现压力有显著差异。结果表明，可以采用多种方法让患者为门诊心脏导管插入术做好准备。
