The effect of nursing interventions for pre-operative anxiety (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Pre-operativ ångest är en subjektiv upplevelse och vanligt förekommande. För patienten leder det här bland annat till ökad smärta, behov av mer narkosmedel, längre tid för återhämtning och ytterligare vårdtid. Det finns ett antal bedömningsinstrument för att mäta pre-operativ ångest, såväl som interventioner för att lindra den.

Syfte: Att med en litteraturstudie beskriva vilken effekt omvårdnadsåtgärder har vid pre-operativ ångest.

Metod: Uppsatsen baserades på en litteraturöversikt av studier som belyst effekten av interventioner för att lindra pre-operativ ångest. Tio artiklar valdes ut efter kvalitetsgranskning och noggrann bearbetning för att besvara syftet.

Resultat: Resultatet av de tio artiklarna skapade tre övergripande rubriker som visar på effekten av de studerade interventionerna på pre-operativ ångest. Interventionerna delades sedan in efter likheter vad gällde interventionstyp. Det som i denna litteraturstudie visade sig ha bäst effekt på pre-operativ ångest var musik och beröring i olika former.

Slutsats: Det finns flera omvårdnadsåtgärder som visat god effekt för att lindra pre-operativ ångest. Sjuksköterskan har en central roll i detta genom att skapa en tillitsfull relation och identifiera ångesten i ett tidigt skede.

Klinisk betydelse: Om pre-operativ ångest mäts på rutin, i ett tidigt skede, med hjälp av något bedömningsinstrument har sjuksköterskan möjlighet att bemöta individens problematik. Det är därför av stor vikt att beprövade och fungerade alternativa omvårdnadsåtgärder finns att tillgå på sjukhusen, som ett komplement till farmakologisk behandling.

Abstract [en]

Background: Pre-operative anxiety is a subjective and common experience. For the patient, it leads to increased pain, the need for more anesthetic, longer recovery time and extended hospitalization. There are multiple assessment instruments to measure pre-operative anxiety, as well as interventions to alleviate it.

Purpose: Review the current literature to describe the effect of nursing interventions on pre-operative anxiety.

Method: This essay was based on a literature review, studies highlighted the effect of interventions to alleviate pre-operative anxiety. Ten articles were selected after quality inspection and careful processing to fulfill the purpose.

Result: From the results of the ten studies, three broad headings were created that show the effect of the studied interventions on pre-operative anxiety. The interventions were then divided by commonalties related to the type of intervention. The interventions shown to have the best effect on pre-operative anxiety where music and touch in various forms.

Conclusion: There are several assessment instruments and nursing interventions that have shown good efficacy in alleviating pre-operative anxiety. The nurse has a central role in this by creating a trusting relationship and identifying anxiety at an early stage to help support these individuals.

Clinical significance: If pre-operative anxiety is measured on a routine basis, at an early stage, using any assessment instruments the nurse have the opportunity to respond to individual problems. Due to that, it is of utmost importance that tested and reliable interventions are available in hospitals, as a compliment to medical treatment.
