Abstract

Purpose

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between preoperative fear and postoperative comfort in otolaryngology patients.

Design

This is a descriptive study.

Methods

The sample consisted of 282 patients undergoing otolaryngology surgery. Participants scheduled for surgery were administered the Patient Information Form and the Surgical Fear Scale in the preoperative period. In the postoperative period, the Perianesthesia Comfort Scale was administered after leaving the intensive care. Data were analyzed using t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis tests.

Findings

We found that if patients' preoperative fear was low, their postoperative comfort was high. A positive linear relationship was found between surgical fear and comfort (P < .05).

Conclusions

The study revealed a positive relationship between the postoperative comfort experienced by the patients and preoperative fear in that patients who had a low level of preoperative fear experienced less postoperative pain.

耳鼻喉科患者术前恐惧与术后舒适度之间的关系。

目的：本研究旨在确定耳鼻喉科患者术前恐惧与术后舒适度之间的关系：这是一项描述性研究：样本包括 282 名接受耳鼻喉科手术的患者。在术前，对计划接受手术的患者进行患者信息表和手术恐惧量表的测试。术后，在离开重症监护室后对患者进行围麻醉舒适度量表（Perianesthesia Comfort Scale）测试。数据分析采用 t 检验、Mann-Whitney U 检验和 Kruskal-Wallis 检验：我们发现，如果患者术前恐惧感低，术后舒适度就高。我们发现，如果患者术前恐惧感低，术后舒适度就高：研究显示，患者术后的舒适度与术前恐惧感之间存在正相关关系，即术前恐惧感低的患者术后疼痛感较轻。
