A influência da escuta terapêutica sobre a ansiedade e os medos relacionados à cirurgia em pacientes no pré-operatório de cirurgia colorretal: um ensaio clínico aleatorizado

“…Em que se pese o reconhecido valor terapêutico da escuta (FASSAERT et al, 2007), os estudos sobre essa temática ainda são escassos (MESQUITA; CARVALHO, 2014), o que motivou a busca pelo seu efeito em uma situação específica, pré-operatório, no processo terapêutico do câncer colorretal.…”
