Anxiety Assessment Education for Preoperative Nurses.
Purpose: This project aimed to evaluate the knowledge of preoperative nurses regarding the assessment of patient anxiety before surgery and to assess the effectiveness of targeted education to improve this assessment.
Design: A descriptive design was used.
Methods: Initially, pre education questionnaires were distributed to nurses in the preoperative unit during a monthly department meeting to assess their existing knowledge. This was followed by an educational presentation detailing the effects of preoperative anxiety on surgical outcomes, its manifestations in patients, and various anxiety assessment tools. Subsequently, two post education questionnaires were administered at different intervals to gauge the improvement in knowledge and the effectiveness of the educational intervention.
Findings: The project identified a significant knowledge gap among preoperative nurses regarding the tools and standardization needed for effective anxiety assessment. The educational intervention successfully enhanced nurses' understanding and assessment practices related to preoperative anxiety.
Conclusions: This project highlighted the importance of proper anxiety assessment in the preoperative period and provided a foundation for potential practice changes aimed at improving patients' surgical experiences through better management of preoperative anxiety.
