Impacto de la educación en paciente con ansiedad prequirúrgica en el ecuador

Pre-surgical anxiety is a temporary emotional state presented by patients with surgical interventions having an unfavorable impact due to the lack of knowledge of the procedure, generating inconveniences such as pain, nausea and postoperative vomiting, higher consumption of anxiolytics, sedatives, and even a hospital stay. The objective of the research was to evaluate nursing interventions in patient education about the surgical and post-surgical process in Ecuador. The present research had a qualitative approach, based on a retrospective bibliographic review of scientific literature. Theoretical analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive and historical-logical methods were used, as well as the empirical method of bibliographic review, using search engines and sites such as Google Scholar, Mendeley, Scielo, Scopus, Elsevier, Science Citation Index and Web of Science. The main results were less post-surgical uncertainty, reduced risks during and after surgery, faster and more satisfactory recovery, shorter hospital stay, less economic expenses, patients in better physical, psychological and nutritional condition, thanks to non-pharmacological interventions, such as aromatherapy, music therapy, deep breathing, hypnotherapy and complemented with humanized nursing care. From all this it is concluded that preoperative education provides crucial information to improve the quality of care and make nursing more accurate and structured in the postoperative recovery process and without the risk of developing anxiety.
