Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Few studies have focused on the effect of virtual reality (VR) exposure on postoperative acute pain in adult female patients undergoing gynecology surgery. DESIGN A randomized control trial (RCT) study. SETTING At Beijing Fuxing Hospital. PATIENTS 115 patients aged between 20 and 60 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I - II were consecutively enrolled and randomly divided into VR group (n = 58) or control group (n = 57). INTERVENTIONS Patients in the VR group received 15 min of VR video viewing before surgery. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was acute postoperative pain at 8 h which was measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores. The secondary outcomes including the use of analgesic drugs, the incidence of moderate pain and postoperative recovery which were recorded 24 h after surgery. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was also used to evaluate patients' emotional status before surgery. MAIN RESULTS The VAS scores at 30 min [2 (1,2) vs. 3 (2,3)], 2 h [2 (2,3) vs. 4 (3,4)], 4 h [3 (2,4) vs. 4 (4,5)], 8 h [3 (2,4) vs. 4 (4,5)], 12 h [2 (2,3) vs. 4 (3,4)], 24 h [1 (1,2) vs. 3 (2,3)] after surgery. Generalized estimation equation (GEE) indicated that VR intervention was negatively correlated with postoperative VAS values (β = -0.830, S.E = 0.199, 95%CI (-1.220,-0.439), Wald χ2 = 17.359, p<0.05), in the meanwhile, VR also lower the incidence of moderate pain (VAS > 4) at 8 h postoperatively (12.1% vs 31.0%, p = 0.013). However, the 24 h tramadol usage remained unchanged. Patients in the VR group had better sleep quality (6.33 ± 2.3 vs. 4.12 ± 2.5, p < 0.001) and lower incidence of nausea (43.1% vs. 63.2%, p < 0.05), dizziness (0% vs. 14.0%, p < 0.05), and headache (12.1% vs. 29.8%, p < 0.05). VR could reduce the median HADS scores (9.81 ± 6.1 vs 3.14 ± 3.9, p < 0.001) and blood pressure preoperatively. CONCLUSIONS VR intervention can reduce acute postoperative pain with better postoperative recovery and lower preoperative anxiety level in adult female patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecology surgery.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:980. [PMID: 38114932 PMCID: PMC10729552 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-07112-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of anxiety among patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery and its association with postoperative function has been well documented; however, the level of anxiety and anxiety-related characteristics remain unclear. As such, the present study investigated the characteristics of state anxiety in patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscectomy. METHODS Data from 75 patients, who underwent arthroscopic partial meniscectomy under general anesthesia and completed an anxiety status questionnaire between April 2021 and March 2022, were retrospectively collected and reviewed. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)-X was used to measure state anxiety; a total score ≥ 52 was defined as clinically meaningful state anxiety. STAI score, main cause of preoperative anxiety, most anxious period, and most helpful factors for reducing perioperative anxiety were investigated. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the main cause of preoperative anxiety; surgery or anesthesia (group I [n = 47]); and postoperative pain or rehabilitation (group II [n = 28]) Characteristics of state-anxiety between the two groups were compared using independent t-tests. RESULTS The mean STAI score of the total population was 39.1 points (range, 20-60 points). The mean STAI score was significantly higher in group I than in group II (41.9 vs. 34.4 points, respectively; P < 0.001). The proportion of patients with clinically meaningful state anxiety was significantly higher in group I than in group II (23.4% vs. 3.6%, respectively, P = 0.02). Most patients (66.0% in group I and 50.0% in group II) responded that trust in medical staff was the most helpful factor in overcoming preoperative anxiety. In group I, 63.8% reported that the surgeon's explanation was the most helpful factor in reducing postoperative anxiety, whereas in group II, 71.4% reported that the natural course after surgery was the most helpful factor. CONCLUSIONS Surgeons should be aware that anxiety related to arthroscopic meniscectomy differs according to patient characteristics, and a preoperative explanation of the postoperative process with the surgeon is important for patients who experience preoperative anxiety regarding anesthesia or the surgery itself.

[PMID: 38020793 PMCID: PMC10655790 DOI: 10.1177/20503121231211648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to assess the prevalence of preoperative anxiety and associated factors among adult surgical patients in public hospitals of eastern Ethiopia from 25 April to 26 May 2022. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study was undertaken using a systematic sampling technique among 423 participants from patients eligible for elective surgery. The prevalence of preoperative anxiety was assessed using the state and trait anxiety inventory measurement scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive and summary statistics were computed. Binary and multivariable logistic regression were computed. The strength of the association was presented using an adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval and statistical significance was declared at a p-value < 0.05. Results The prevalence of preoperative anxiety among patients scheduled for elective surgery was 51.2%. Being 31-45 aged adult (AOR = 0.36; 95% CI = 0.17, 0.78), having moderate (AOR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.22, 0.96) and strong social support (AOR = 0.04; 95% CI = 0.02, 0.08), being single (AOR = 0.19; 95% CI = 0.04, 0.89), listening to music (AOR = 0.37; 95% CI = 0.18, 0.74) and finding social and religious support (AOR = 0.15; 95% CI = 0.07, 0.33), and orthopedic surgery (AOR = 0.21; 95% CI = 0.10, 0.43) were significantly associated with lower odds of preoperative anxiety, whereas having fear of death (AOR = 1.16; 95% CI = 0.64, 2.09) was significantly associated with increased odds of preoperative anxiety. Conclusion In the current study, the magnitude of preoperative anxiety was high. Being an older adult and having social and treatment support was associated with lower odds of preoperative anxiety. In contrast, lower psychological readiness (fear of death) was associated with increased odds of preoperative anxiety. Patients should be routinely assessed for anxiety during the preoperative appointment, and the proper coping mechanisms and anxiety-reduction approaches should be used. It is also advisable that appropriate policies and procedures for reducing preoperative anxiety should be devised.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate preoperative anxiety in patients with lung cancer scheduled for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and explore the influence of demographic factors, information needs, illness perception, and patient trust in preoperative anxiety. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary referral center in China from August 14 to December 1, 2022. Patients with lung cancer (N = 308) scheduled for VATS were evaluated using the Amsterdam Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS), Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), and Wake Forest Physician Trust Scale (WFPTS). Multivariate linear regression was employed to determine the independent predictors of preoperative anxiety. RESULTS The average total APAIS anxiety score was (10.6 ± 4.2). Of the sample, 48.4% reported high preoperative anxiety (APAIS-A: ≥10). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that preoperative anxiety was higher in women (B = 0.860); and that preoperative length of stay ≥24 h (B = 0.016), more information needs (B = 0.988), more severe illness perceptions (B = 0.101) and more patient trust (B = -0.078) may lead to higher preoperative anxiety levels. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative anxiety is common in patients with lung cancer scheduled for VATS. Therefore, more attention should be paid to women and patients with a preoperative length of stay of ≥24 h. Meeting information needs, transforming positive disease perceptions, and strengthening the doctor-patient trusting relationship are key protective factors for preoperative anxiety.

[PMID: 37456818 PMCID: PMC10347384 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1201737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Prehabilitation has been demonstrated to positively impact postoperative recovery in patients undergoing selective cardiac surgery. However, the optimal modules included in prehabilitation programs are yet to be fully explored, as existing studies have primarily focused on exercise. This study will explore the effectiveness of a three-arm prehabilitation program among adult patients awaiting selective cardiac surgery. Methods and analysis A single-center, parallel-group randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine (SAHZU). A total of 152 adult patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting or valvular surgery) will be recruited from a tertiary teaching hospital. The patients will be randomly assigned to either the control group or the prehabilitation group. Patients assigned to the control group will receive standard care, which includes patient education and counseling as well as personal guidance on exercise, breathing, and coughing. Patients in the intervention group will be provided a multimodal prehabilitation program, including nutrition guidance, a diet journal, mindfulness training, and exercise guidance. The interventions will begin with home-based training and continue after hospital admission and before surgery. The primary outcome will be the perioperative 6-minute walk distance (6 MWD). The secondary outcomes will include preoperative readiness, postoperative recovery, and patient experience with the program. Discussion The purpose of the study is to examine whether a short-term multimodal prehabilitation program will be associated with improved preoperative readiness and postoperative outcomes. The findings of this study will provide evidence to support the development of a perioperative program aimed at enhancing patient recovery.

Abstract
This study describes an attempt to develop a user-friendly nomogram incorporating psychological factors to individually predict the risk of radial artery spasm. Patients consecutively recruited between June 2020 and June 2021 constituted the development cohort for retrospective analysis of the development of a prediction model. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression combined with clinical significance was employed to screen out appropriate independent variables. The model's discrimination and calibration were subsequently evaluated and calibrated by using the C-index, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and calibration plot. Decision curve analysis was also performed to evaluate the net benefit with the nomogram, and internal validation was assessed using bootstrapping validation. The predictors included in the risk nomogram included "body mass index ," "anxiety score," "duration of interventional surgery," "latency time (time spent waiting in the catheterization laboratory)," "vascular circuity (substantial changes in the curvature of vessels)," and "puncture number." The derived model showed good discrimination with an area under the ROC curve of .77, a C-index of .771 (95% CI: .72-.822) and good calibration. Decision curve analysis indicated that the nomogram provided a better net benefit than the alternatives.

Abstract
Objective To identify the information needs and perceptions of patients regarding the application of virtual reality in pre-surgical patient education. Methods A qualitative study was conducted between March and July 2020. The study population consisted of a purposive sample of patients scheduled for cardiac surgery from a single institution. Semi-structured individual interviews (n=19) were conducted and analysed using thematic analysis. Results Patient perceptions regarding virtual reality and information needs related to hospitalisation and surgery could be categorised into three themes: Creating familiarity, contents to explore and challenges and preconditions. Conclusions Virtual reality technology is a promising tool that can enhance conventional patient education to improve understanding and to potentially reduce concerns and anxieties. The virtual reality environment creates an opportunity for patients to be in control of the timing, quantity, depth and frequency of patient education. A virtual reality education tool should not be a substitute for personal contact with the physician. Innovation Patient information needs were identified profoundly to the further development of a virtual reality intervention. This intervention aims to educate patients prior to elective cardiac surgery.

Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to identify preoperative indicators and/or predictors of complications or inefficiencies in the surgical process that can be modified within nursing practice. BACKGROUND Due to rapid sociodemographic and technological change, the global demand for surgical attention is rising exponentially, requiring new strategies for optimisation and sustainability in perioperative care. DESIGN We conduced the scoping review using the methodology recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute supported with The PAGER framework and guided by the PRISMA-ScR Checklist. METHODS Four databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, SCOPUS and PUBMED) were examined to extract relevant published results for elective surgery on adult patients during the period 2011-2021. This process identified 609 records. Exclusion criteria were applied, and the sample was then evaluated with the Quality Assessment Tool for Studies with Diverse Designs (QATSDD), after which 15 studies remained. RESULTS The following preoperative indicators and/or predictors were considered: (1) Anxiety; (2) Pain; (3) Health education, knowledge and training; (4) Satisfaction; (5) Management/organisation (including costs, resources used/available, organisational issues, hospital stay (preoperative), standardisation and protocolisation. CONCLUSION The identification of five indicators and/or predictors of complications or inefficiencies in the surgical process, which can be modified by nursing, allows the effective application of interventions in the preoperative phase, optimising care and improving health outcomes. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The development and implementation of specific nursing skills in the preoperative phase are essential to optimise the surgical process.

Abstract
Although previous studies reported that chewing gum during the preoperative fasting has the benefits of alleviating anxiety and dry mouth, preoperative chewing gum has yet to be accepted as a standard practice due to conventional anesthetic custom. Our study aimed to prospectively evaluate the effects of gum chewing on preoperative anxiety and patient's discomfort in female patients undergoing gynecologic surgery. Ninety-four patients were enrolled and randomized either into conventional fasting group (control group) or chewing gum with fasting group (gum group). The control group was instructed to fast from 3 p.m. on the day before surgery. The gum group performed preoperative fasting in the same manner, but was encouraged to chew gum freely during the fasting period. The primary endpoint was the degree of preoperative anxiety. For the evaluation of preoperative anxiety, Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale (APAIS) was used. Preoperative gastric fluid volume and acidity were also measured as the secondary outcomes. Preoperative anxiety using APAIS was significantly lower in the gum group compared to the control group (control group vs. gum group: 20.9 vs. 17.8, p = 0.009). However, there was no significant difference in the gastric fluid analysis between the groups. In the female patients for elective gynecologic surgery, chewing gum during the preoperative fasting period helped to alleviate preoperative anxiety without additional increase of pulmonary aspiration risks.Trial registration: KCT0004422 (05/11/2019, https://cris.nih.go.kr ; registration number).

The effectiveness of preoperative education interventions on improving perioperative outcomes of adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Cardiovasc Nurs 2021; 21:521-536. [PMID: 34964470 DOI: 10.1093/eurjcn/zvab123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Revised: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac surgeries pose as an emotional experience for patients. Preoperative education is known to positively alter people's perceptions, emotions, and mitigate surgical distress. However, this intervention's effectiveness in improving perioperative outcomes among patients undergoing cardiac surgery lacked rigorous statistical synthesis and remains inconclusive. AIMS The aim was to synthesize the effectiveness of preoperative education on improving perioperative outcomes [anxiety, depression, knowledge, pain intensity, pain interference with daily activities, postoperative complications, length of hospitalization, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, satisfaction with the intervention and care, and health-related quality of life] among patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis conducted a comprehensive search of nine electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and ERIC) and grey literature for randomized controlled trials examining the preoperative educational interventional effects on patients undergoing cardiac surgery from inception to 31 December 2020. The studies' quality was evaluated using Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Tool 1 (RoB1). Meta-analyses via RevMan 5.4 software synthesized interventional effects. RESULTS Twenty-two trials involving 3167 participants were included. Preoperative education had large significant effects on reducing post-intervention preoperative anxiety (P = 0.02), length of ICU stay (P = 0.02), and improving knowledge (P < 0.00001), but small significant effect sizes on lowering postoperative anxiety (P < 0.0001), depression (P = 0.03), and enhancing satisfaction (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS This review indicates the feasibility of preoperative education in clinical use to enhance health outcomes of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Future studies need to explore knowledge outcomes in-depth and more innovative technologies in preoperative education delivery.

TikTok browsing for anxiety relief in the preoperative period: A randomized clinical trial. Complement Ther Med 2021; 60:102749. [PMID: 34118388 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctim.2021.102749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2021] [Revised: 05/29/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of browsing TikTok for 20 min on patients' preoperative anxiety. METHOD A randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Department of Anesthesiology of The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2021 to March 2021. The 80 patients were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group browsed TikTok for 20 min, but the control group did not. Preoperative anxiety was measured with the help of the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) and anxiety visual analog test (AVAT). Preoperative anxiety, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) were checked before and after 20 min of TikTok browsing. Patient satisfaction with anesthesia was evaluated as the patient entered and exited the operating room. RESULTS The pretest APAIS scores, AVAT scores, vital signs and patient satisfaction were similar in both groups (p > 0.05). Compared with the control group, patient anxiety levels and systolic blood pressure decreased significantly after 20 min of TikTok browsing (p < 0.05), and patient satisfaction with anesthesia was significantly higher (p < 0.05). In the experimental group, after patients browsed TikTok for 20 min, all of the physiological and behavioral variables of anxiety were significantly reduced (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS TikTok is a popular, simple, effective, noninvasive and inexpensive method for decreasing preoperative anxiety, and browsing TikTok can lower a patient's blood pressure and heart rate to some extent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-reported health status is one of the most important aspects of cardiovascular outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess patient-reported health and its determinants following cardiac surgery. METHODS Cross-sectional study was performed among 128 patients (mean age: 66.02; 35.9% women). Three months after surgery patients filled in The Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12) and Brief-Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ). Patient-reported health was assessed using SF-12 General Health component. RESULTS The mean General Health score was 47.34 (SD=20.94). General Health was significantly positively correlated with SF-12 Physical and Mental Component Summary (P<0.01). Significant negative correlations were noted between General Health and European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Factor (EuroSCORE) (P=0.012) and Body Mass Index (BMI) (P=0.026). Higher scores on B-IPQ Consequences, Timeline, Identity, Emotional Response (P<0.01) and Concern (P=0.03) were related to worse General Health. Higher perceived effectiveness of surgery (P<0.01) and Treatment control (P=0.003) were associated with higher General Health score. More negative illness perception was significantly related to lower General Health (P<0.01). No significant associations between General Health and mode and weight of the procedure, myocardial infarction, previous percutaneous coronary intervention, New York Heart Association (NYHA) and Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) class and postsurgical complications were noted. Structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that illness perception domains, BMI and EuroSCORE are the main determinants of General Health. CONCLUSIONS Modifiable factors, especially illness perception are important determinants of patient-reported health after cardiac surgery. Evaluation of illness perception seems vital since it may lead to address patients' concerns and improve outcomes.
