Estudo descritivo com abordagem quantitativa, visando identificar o traço e estado de ansiedade dos pacientes hospitalares submetidos às cirurgias gerais e descrever a influência das orientações de enfermagem nos níveis de ansiedade do paciente cirúrgico. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma unidade de cirurgia hospitalar, no município do Rio de Janeiro, no período de julho de 2012 a janeiro de 2013, com entrevista estruturada. Participaram do estudo 50 pacientes, cujas idades variaram entre 20-70 anos. Mediante a análise dos resultados, identificou-se que os pacientes que não receberam orientações de enfermagem aumentaram seus níveis de traço e estado de ansiedade. Conclui-se que as orientações de enfermagem no pré-operatório exercem importância fundamental tanto para o cliente como para toda a equipe que participa desse momento, com vistas ao bem-estar e à redução da ansiedade no momento cirúrgico.
ABSTRACT
This quantitative, descriptive study to identify trait and state anxiety in hospital patients undergoing general surgery, and describe the influence of nursing guidance on surgical patients’ anxiety levels, was carried out using structured interviews at a hospital surgical department in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, between July 2012 and January 2013,. The study comprised 50 patients, aged from 20 to 70 years. Analysis of the results revealed that levels of trait and state anxiety increased in patients who received no nursing guidance. It was concluded that preoperative nursing guidance is of fundamental importance to both the client and the whole team participating in this event, by fostering well-being and reducing anxiety during surgery.
