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.
