简要总结
The objective was to compare the frequency and intensity of symptoms of fear in patients of preoperative cardiac surgery who received empathic behaviour from nurse or those who received no specific type of empathic behaviour. This is a randomized clinical trial. The sample consisted of 44 patients in preoperative of cardiac surgery, who were divided in two groups: empathic behaviour by nurses and without specific empathic behaviour. Fear was assessed at two time points: before and after the intervention. The instrument used was developed and validated, comprising 15 defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis fear. The hypothesis is that the group who received empathic behaviour from nurse will reduce the anxiety.
详细描述
Primary outcome is fear. Fear was assessed by a nurse using of an instrument developed and validated previous, based on 15 defining characteristics described by North American Nursing Diagnosis Association for the nursing diagnosis fear: apprehension, increased tension, exciting, nervousness, verbalization of fear (expressed concern), increased pulse, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, abnormal respiratory rate, increased perspiration, dry mouth, fear of death (reported), crying and impaired bowel motility.
Patients were evaluated for the presence and absence of these fear symptoms through scores: 0 (no symptom) and 1 (presence of symptom). For analysis of the results was carried out the sum of the scores of each symptom, ranging from 0 to 15, with the higher the score, the greater was the fear symptoms presented by the patient.
