Clinical Trial Summary

.A surgical intervention involves the participant and his / her family in a very stressful situation with a biopsychosocial alteration of the participant, often presenting a lack of knowledge of the surgical process from admission to hospital discharge. Researchers (nursing) began to make prior visits to the surgical procedure to reduce anxiety and provide information about the surgical process. The importance of the presurgical nursing visit (PNV) is sought, how to achieve a better health education throughout the surgical process, improve communication between professionals through standardized records, contributing to an optimal approach to the participant, increasing well-being, health and the satisfaction of the participant

Description:

In our Center, PNVs are carried out in the Ambulatory Area (External Consultations) in a specific and personalized nursing consultation, within an established and multidisciplinary program. One week before surgery, the patient and a family / primary caregiver are cited.

The PNV conducts a semi-structured interview; the content may vary according to the type of surgery, but in general it can be understood as all those nursing interventions; how to provide information, support, advice and training to the patient and his family (primary caregiver).

It is an innovative experience since it has been carried out for a short time. The PNV have been gradually restructured and continue to grow, since their establishment has been positively valued in the different services thanks to the experience gained and the numerous bibliographic references that demonstrate the beneficial results for the patient and the health system.

A total of 356 participants have been calculated (surveys answered in more than 3 months), taking into account an approximate population of 1,172 programmed interventions carried out in 1 year, with a confidence interval of 95%, accuracy of 3% a proportion of 5% and with an expected loss of 15%.
