Development and Effect of Information Program for Operating Room Nurses for Arteriovenous Fistula and Angioplasty Subject

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative and postoperative information provision programs by visiting operating room nurses in the hospital for the patients with end stage renal disease who underwent arteriovenous fistula and angioplasty. The subjects were 40 patients in the experimental group and 40 patients in the control group who were hospitalized for the arteriovenous fistula or angioplasty among patients undergoing dialysis with end-stage renal disease. Anxiety was measured by Spielberger, Kim and Shin using the standardized visual analog scale of the state anxiety tool and Cline, Herman, Shaw and Morton. Self-efficacy measures were developed by Sherer, Maddux, Jacobs and Rosers, and self-efficacy tools were used by Hong. The SPSS/WIN 21.0 program was used to analyze the demographic characteristics of the population, the preliminary homogeneity test for the general characteristics and dependent variables between the experimental group and the control group, the x 2 test and the t-test, the information of the operating room nurse. The t-test was used to measure differences in anxiety and self-efficacy between the experimental group and control group. Result, trait anxiety (t=2.31, p<.024), state anxiety (t=10.18, p<.001) and self-efficacy (t=-4.59, p<.001) in the experimental group receiving the information program of operating room nurse were significantly higher. The results of this study suggest that the information program of the nurses in the operating room reduces the anxiety of end-stage renal disease and improves the self-efficacy, and it can be used as training data for the patients who are scheduled for arteriovenous fistula and angioplasty.
