Efectividad de una intervención pre-quirúrgica de enfermería; en ansiedad de pacientes sometidos a colecistectomía del Hospital General Regional No.1 Vicente Guerrero de Acapulco, 2017

Abstract

Anxiety is the mental state that leads the human being to experience reactions of discomfort, anguish, fear, worry or excitement. The intensity of the anxiety in front of a surgical intervention is determined by several factors. The first is the magnitude of the external traumatic agent, the severity of the disease, the duration of the preoperative period: the greater the urgency of the operation, the shorter the patient's time to adapt emotionally, which will lead to anxiety crises and many somatic and neurovegetative manifestations (tachycardia, diarrhea, nausea, dyspnea, sleep disturbances, fear insecurity and feelings of despair) family history of interventions, such as problems with anesthesia or past experiences with loss of a loved one, are usually a of the main sources of anxiety. The last factor is the patient's subjective ability to cope with anxiety. This is a determining factor that health professionals almost always overlook. (Gordillo León, 2014)
