Description:
Relevance of the study. Often, even a small surgical intervention becomes a cause of the patient's emotional stress. Anxiety that occurs during the preoperative period or lack of information can also lead to anxiety during the surgery. Only a few studies that review patients' emotional experience during the surgery have been conducted in Lithuania. The substance of this study is to reveal the patients’ psychological experiences during the surgery and to describe the factors that are important for their emergence.
Aim of the study. to reveal the patients’ emotional and psychological experiences during the surgery.
Objectives. to describe the factors that have a negative impact on the patient's emotional condition during the operative period and the preventive measures applied; to evaluate the patient’s positive and negative experiences at the operating theatre; to determine the measures applied at the operating theatre that help improve the patient's emotional condition; to evaluate the patient's experience of informative preparation as a precondition for reducing emotional suffering at the operating theatre.
Research methods. Lithuanian and foreign scientific literature was analyzed for conducting this research. A qualitative study was conducted and semi-structured interviews followed by the content analysis were carried out in compliance with bioethical principles. The study covered 20 different age patients (from 22 to 79 years) several days after a surgery. No sedation was applied to any of the respondents.
Findings of the study. The research revealed that the patients’ positive emotional condition depended on empathic communication and care, professionalism and promptness of the operating staff.
