“…Avaliar os sintomas de ansiedade e depressão deveriam ser rotinas na avaliação pré-operatória de enfermagem, uma vez que estes podem repercutir na recuperação do paciente, aumentando o tempo de internação e a dor, dificultando a cicatrização, entre outros aspectos. Para tanto, é imprescindível que os profissionais compreendam os transtornos de ansiedade para que sejam capazes de implementarem medidas de redução deles, propiciando uma melhor evolução no período pós-operatório (13)(14)(15) . Neste estudo, a ansiedade esteve presente em 20,7% dos participantes, contudo, após a intervenção, observou-se uma redução, passando para 6,7%.…”

Objetivo: avaliar o efeito da escuta terapêutica na ansiedade de pessoas no período pré-operatório imediato. Método: pesquisa quase-experimental e de intervenção realizada com 150 pessoas em um Hospital de Minas Gerais/Brasil, de julho a outubro de 2018. Foi avaliada a ansiedade pela Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão e as medidas fisiológicas. Realizou-se análise estatística descritiva e inferencial e testes Qui-quadrado, Spearman e Wilcoxon. Resultados: das 31 pessoas com ansiedade, 10 tiveram redução da ansiedade e das médias das medidas fisiológicas após a intervenção. Foi verificada relação significativa entre as variáveis sexo, renda familiar mensal, complicações cirúrgicas anteriores e eventos marcantes na vida com a medida de ansiedade. Foi constatada correlação positiva fraca entre ansiedade e frequência respiratória e correlação negativa fraca entre ansiedade e faixa etária. Conclusão: ao identificar pacientes com ansiedade, intervenções como a escuta terapêutica podem ser implementadas para tornar o perioperatório mais saudável.

“…Appukuttan found that dental anxiety can be managed by psychotherapeutic interventions such as muscle relaxation, relaxation breathing, imagery, hypnosis, acupuncture, distraction, and positive reinforcement (35). Croke suggested aromatherapy, acupuncture, music, therapy dogs, visitation, education, and virtual reality as ways to help reduce preoperative patient anxiety (36). According to the findings of our study, using some strategies such as giving hope, building trust, using distraction, using spirituality, and normalizing new circumstances, nurses can reduce patients’ fears and thus establish empathetic communication with them.…”

Nurse–patient communication is the foremost step in providing professional care. Nurses can use effective communication as a simple and powerful tool to create comfort, happiness, and vitality to reduce the patient's grief and suffering. This study aimed to explain the nurses’ perception of empathetic nurse–patient communication. This qualitative study was conducted with a content analysis method in 2020. Seventeen hospital nurses were recruited with maximum variation from the educational hospitals affiliated to Qom University of Medical Sciences, Qom, Iran, and semi-structured interviews were conducted until data saturation was reached. Data analysis was performed using Graneheim and Lundman approach. Nurses establish empathetic communication with patients through three main categories of: (1) having humanistic and unique behaviors with the patients; (2) providing a calm and happy environment for the patients; and (3) reducing the patients’ fear and consolation to them. These findings indicate empathetic communication that is appropriate to the conditions and needs of hospitalized patients. The three main categories were accomplished through 14 subcategories. The finding of this study can help to develop a training framework of empathetic nurse–patient communication and design instruments for measuring it.

Background: The visual analogue scale (VAS) instrument is proven to be reliable in measuring anxiety. Experts argue, however, that measuring the aspect of psychosocial trauma in a different language has limitations, especially among hospitalised children under the age of six. As a result, the study sought to revise and validate a trustworthy, child-friendly VAS for use in Indonesia. Methods: A preliminary survey was conducted among 81 respondents that met the inclusion criteria. An expert committee reviewed and revised the VAS-Anxiety-Indonesia for sensitivity and content validity. Thus, the Centre of Indonesia Language was charged with forward and backward translation from English to Indonesian and vice versa. In this study, data were collected in two phases. The first was the preliminary data collection from 21 respondents for face and content validity. The second phase recruited 60 respondents with retests and confirmations of modified items and components of VAS-A-Indonesia. Statistical analysis used a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.05. The second test performed the content validity index, item correlation analysis, internal consistency for reliability testing, and Exploratory Factor Analysis. Results: The instrument consists of 12 items. With three factors to measure anxiety, they accounted for 65.2% of the overall variance. The content validity index was 0.825 (Aiken's V), item correlations ranged from 0.354 to 0.686, and Cronbach's alpha was 0.837. Conclusion: The Indonesian version of the VAS-A was a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the anxiety of preschoolers admitted to hospitals.
