Abstract

Abstract Background: Providing sufficient information during a preanesthetic interview may help improve patient understanding and decrease anxiety related to spinal anesthesia. We investigated the effect of video-based education on anxiety and satisfaction in patients about to undergo spinal anesthesia. Methods: A total of 198 patients scheduled for minor elective surgery under spinal anesthesia were prospectively enrolled. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory/State and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory/Trait) questionnaires and visual analog scale were used to measure anxiety levels before the standard anesthesia evaluation was initiated. Then, 100 patients in Group 1 received written, verbal, and video-based education, whereas 98 patients in Group 2 received only written and verbal instructions regarding spinal anesthesia. Then all participants completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory/State and visual analog scale to evaluate anxiety. Finally, a 5-point Likert scale was used to measure satisfaction during postoperative period. Results: No differences were found in the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory/State, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory/Trait, or visual analog scale scores between the two groups before the information period. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory/State scores evaluating anxiety during the post-information period were differed in both groups and they found as 36.5 ± 10.0 in Group 1 and 39.6 ± 8.6 in Group 2 (p = 0.033). The 5-point Likert scale scores to measure satisfaction were stated as 4.5 ± 0.6 in Group 1 and 3.5 ± 1.2 in Group 2 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Providing video-based information during the preanesthetic interview alleviated anxiety and increased satisfaction in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia.

Resumo

Resumo Justificativa: Fornecer informação suficiente durante uma consulta pré-anestesia pode aumentar a compreensão do paciente e diminuir a ansiedade relacionada à anestesia espinhal. Investigamos o efeito do fornecimento de informação via vídeo sobre a ansiedade e satisfação em pacientes prestes a serem submetidos à anestesia espinhal. Métodos: Foram inscritos prospectivamente 198 pacientes agendados para cirurgias eletivas de pequeno porte sob anestesia espinhal. Os questionários de avaliação de estado e traço de ansiedade (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory/State e State-Trait Anxiety Inventory/Trait) e uma escala visual analógica foram usados para medir os níveis de ansiedade antes de a avaliação-padrão da anestesia ter sido iniciada. Em seguida, 100 pacientes do Grupo 1 receberam informação por escrito, verbal e via vídeo, enquanto 98 pacientes do Grupo 2 receberam apenas informação por escrito e verbal sobre a anestesia espinhal. Em seguida, todos os participantes responderam os inventários de estado e traço de ansiedade e a escala visual analógica para avaliar a ansiedade. Por fim, a escala de Likert de 5 pontos foi usada para medir a satisfação durante o período pós-operatório. Resultados: Não houve diferença nos escores dos questionários de estado e traço de ansiedade e da escala visual analógica entre os dois grupos antes do período de informação. Os escores de estado e traço de ansiedade que avaliam a ansiedade durante o período pós-informação foram diferentes em ambos os grupos: 36,5 ± 10,0 no Grupo 1 e 39,6 ± 8,6 no Grupo 2 (p = 0,033). Os escores da escala Likert de 5 pontos para medir a satisfação foram: 4,5 ± 0,6 no Grupo 1 e 3,5 ± 1,2 no Grupo 2 (p < 0,001). Conclusão: Fornecer informação via vídeo durante a consulta pré-anestésica aliviou a ansiedade e aumentou a satisfação em pacientes submetidos à anestesia espinhal.
