“…Preoperative anxiety can have many causes, such as: fear of death, pain, nausea, and vomiting; an inability to recover from anesthesia; dependence on others during the postoperative period; loss of self‐control during anesthesia; separation from loved ones; and uncertainty (McArthur‐Rouse & Collins, ; Indratula et al , ). This form of anxiety plays a crucial role in the postoperative process (Munafo & Stevenson, ) and leads to the increased use of postoperative analgesics (Jamison et al , ; Pan et al , ).…”

This study was conducted to determine and compare the effectiveness of nature sounds and relaxation exercises for reducing preoperative anxiety. A repeated measures randomized controlled trial design was used. We divided 159 preoperative patients into three groups: nature sounds (n = 53), relaxation exercises (n = 53), and control groups (n = 53). We evaluated anxiety using the visual analog scale and state anxiety inventory scores immediately before, immediately after, and 30 min after interventions in nature sounds and relaxation exercises groups, and silent rest in the control. We found no differences between the measurement values in the intervention groups, but we did observe a difference between the intervention and control groups. The two interventions were similarly effective in reducing preoperative anxiety. These simple and low-cost interventions can be used to reduce preoperative anxiety in surgical clinics.

Background:Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death around the world. The coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common diseases in this category, which can be the trigger to various psychosocial complications. We believe that inadequate attention has been paid to this issue.Objectives:The purpose of the present study was to explore the psychosocial complications of CAD from the Iranian patients’ perspective.Patients and Methods:A qualitative design based on the content analysis approach was used to collect the data and analyze the perspective of 18 Iranian patients suffered from CAD, chosen by a purposeful sampling strategy. Semi-structured interviews were held in order to collect the data. Sampling was continued until the data saturation. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis approach by MAXQUDA 2010 software.Results:This study revealed the theme of the patients’ challenges with CAD. This theme consisted of: "primary challenges," including doubting early diagnosis and treatment, and feeling being different from others; "psychological issues," including preoccupation, fear of death and surgical intervention, recurrence stress , anxiety and depression; "problems of life," including financial problems, work-related problems, and family-related problems; and "sociocultural issues," including change in perspective of people towards the patient, and cultural issues.Conclusions:Although the management of physical problems in patients with CAD is important, psychosocial effects of this disease is more important. Thus, health care personnel should pay ample attention to identify and resolve psychosocial problems of these patients. Results of this study can be used to empower these patients.

The employment of people with mental illness is increasing each year in Japan. When they choose regular employment, some choose to disclose their illness, and others do not. In this qualitative study in Japan, I conducted a questionnaire survey among people with mental illness with an employment history about their experiences with disclosing their mental illness. After the data were coded, categorized, and analyzed, I identified three common factors for non-disclosure to an employer or supervisor: anxiety about dismissal and not being hired, anxiety about unfavorable treatment, and anxiety about stigma. Education and consideration for the illness were identified as requests for the employer. Based on these findings, I concluded that people with mental illness anticipate social alienation at the time of hiring or while they are on the job, that they must take measures to improve their working environment and decrease stigma in the workplace to continue working, and that education and increased awareness of mental illness in the workplace are needed.
