Filter by:The prospect of pediatric surgery is a source of preoperative anxiety for children and their parents. It affects 50% of children waiting for surgery and the causes vary according to age. It has been shown that pre-operative anxiety in children often leads to behavioral changes. Pre-operative anxiety is often managed by pharmacological premedication. However, there are many alternative techniques to reduce children's anxiety before surgery. The use of an application dedicated to pediatric anesthesia used from the moment of the anesthesia consultation would allow to reduce this anxiety by allowing a varied course of information involving the child in his preparation before the surgery. First, it allows an evaluation of the pre-operative anxiety level of children via validated scales. Secondly, it provides information to the children using methods adapted to their age and level of understanding. Thus, if this method were validated, other hospitals could use this application to develop a tool that would benefit the many children who undergo surgery each year.
A lot of observationnal studies describe parental stressors in PICU/PCICU, but none studied, prospectively, the links between medical equipment removal/insertion and anxiety modulation. The primary objective is to identify the impact of medical equipment removal/insertion on the STAI-Y score (anxiety) The secondary objective is to identify the parental anxiety determinant (via VAS).
In our clinic, our aim is to evaluate the effects of virtual reality technology on pain, anxiety, and additional anesthesia needs in patients undergoing port catheter implantation.
Pre-operative anxiety is a very common condition that plagues many patients prior to undergoing surgery. Anxious patients are most frequently treated with sedatives in the perioperative period, which can have a negative impact on post-operative recovery, especially when combined with narcotic pain medications. Pre-operative anxiety, depression and catastrophizing have been shown to be factors leading to an increase of up to 50% of postoperative pain and opioid requirement. Therefore, the control of mood disorders prior to surgery may help with the perioperative pain management and postoperative opioid requirement. The use of essential oils in aromatherapy have long been associated with psychological wellness, and anecdotal reports suggest that aromatherapy, specifically lavender scent, may reduce anxiety. This study will assess the role of the elequil aromatab #373 Lavender-Peppermint in improving post-surgical quality of life in patients undergoing unilateral hip replacement surgery and in patients undergoing unilateral or bilateral mastectomy. Additionally, this study will follow subjects through their perioperative course to measure to what degree the aromatherapy intervention helps to reduce instances of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and opioid requirement following surgery.
The aims of this study were firstly, to evaluate the changes in the anxiety level after deep sedation with various intravenous sedative agents using salivary cortisol level in pediatric dental patients and secondly, to compare clinical effectiveness of this sedative agents, perioperative complications, recovery time and adverse effects.
The aim of our study is to compare patients anxiety and pain during percutaneous vascular interventions with and without virtual reality autohypnosis.
Determine the impact of VR-Biofeedback, VR-distraction, and 360 video on pain and medication utilization in patients undergoing surgery; determine the role of anxiety and pain catastrophizing on changes in pain following VR-BF in patients undergoing surgery.
In this study, it is planned to compare the effect of listening to the music preferred by the patient and classical music on postoperative anxiety.
The lung cancer is the most has the life minacity in all kinds of cancers, and it also remains the most common cause of cancer-related death in the world. The group of lung cancer patients are suffer from huge disease impact that came from high mortality. Not only the course of treatment that patients has been diagnosis through operation is more faster, but also those who could be capable of operated are stabilized to keep follow-up at out-patient clinic. But in the next following five years after operation, they may take different dysfunctional level or some kinds of symptom distress. The effect has a great influence on those patients that have to face extended emotional impact, symptom distress and life style change. In addition, most of them concern about recurrent all the time in the remission. These situation needs us to place importance on it. The purposes of this study are to investigate psychological and physical distress and care needs in operable lung cancer patients receiving surgery. This survey includes two parts of physical and mental condition. First, the investigators are scoring their symptom severity and quality of life to check physical condition. Seconded, the mental condition will use validated questionnaires to realize the relationship of anxiety, depression, uncertainty, fear of recurrence, self-efficacy and needs. Final, compare all of the data to patients' needs. This study is a cross-sectional designs with convenience sampling that conform to the investigators recruited requirements. The investigators will recruit from the clinic of thoracic surgery in one medical center in Taipei and take five structured requirements. And the investigators are going to collect data from January, 2011 to December, 2012. Also expect results are lung cancer outpatients after surgery that more physical dysfunction or more depress of mental condition, it will lead patients' needs increased or significant difference. In conclusion, this study analyzes their needs in the remission that consequences can be medical professionals' reference material.
