Abstract
- Purpose: Today many surgical operations are performed with laparoscopic methods. This study was performed to investigate the effect of the brochure-based training on pain, anxiety, and life findings in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and methods: This is a quasi-experimental controlled study. The data were collected from all patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy between 1 May 2018 and 30 December 2018, A State Hospital. When the confidence interval was calculated as 95% in the known sample universe, the number of patients to be included in the study was 62. The patients were divided into two groups as control (n = 31) and experiment (n = 31) groups. Patients were selected by random sampling method. The groups were homogenous. The data were collected by face-to-face interview method by the researcher using the patient identification form, the Hospital Anxiety, and Depression Scale, the Visual Analog Scale, and the evaluation of life findings. Patients who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the experimental group were given brochure training. The control group received routine nursing practice, and both groups were given a brochure booklet after making them fill in the forms 24 hours before and after the operation. Data were analyzed with SPSS 22 software package by employing Chi-square and t-test. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the anxiety levels of the patients in the hospital anxiety/depression scale (p<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in depression (p>0.05). Pain values were statistically significant (p<0.05) and there were mild positive results in vital signs. Conclusion: We recommend that the training programs should be planned for patients and health care workers to reduce the anxiety levels before and after surgery, together with the training on nan-pharmacological methods for reducing the pain levels in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
