Abstract

|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was demonstration of that preparatory sensory information (PSI) as nursing
intervention can affect preoperative state anxiety, vital sign and behavioral response of patients under spinal anesthesia.
Method: This study was planned as a non-equivalant control group and a non-synchronized design and analyzed by 2-test and t-test using SPSS 10.0 program. Experimental group (Group A) and control group (Group B) was respectively consisted of 40 patients who were scheduled operation under spinal anesthesia performed from July, to November, 2002. PSI was offered on the day before surgery by a nurse at the bed side.
Result: After offering PSI, mean score of behavioral response during spinal anesthesia was significantly different between two groups; In the operating room, mean systolic/diastolic pressure was significantly different between two groups; In the recovery room, mean score of state anxiety and mean heart rate was not statistically different between two groups.
Conclusion: The result of this study suggested that PSI for patients under spinal anesthesia can significantly affect preoperative behavioral response score and stabilization of blood pressure. Then we expect that PSI is an effective nursing intervention to reduce anxiety of patients.
