“…However, literature continues to report an inadequately managed post-operative pain (Clegg-Lamptey & Hodasi, 2005;Qu, Sherwood, McNeill, & Zheng, 2008). Also, literature reports persistence of surgical wound infection (Stepanovic et al, 2007). It pre-supposes that patients scheduled for surgery could experience any of these problems after surgery and the exhibition of worry or anxiety pre-operatively may continue to dominate the surgical context.…”

The unknown outcome of surgery has always been a source of anxiety for patients and their relatives. However, the experiences of Ghanaian surgical patients have not been adequately explored. This study sought to have an in-depth exploration of the pre-operative experiences of Ghanaian general surgical patients to inform effective pre-operative care. The study employed an ethnographic design and was conducted at two hospitals in Accra. Thirteen general surgical patients were purposively recruited and interviewed. Data analysis occurred concurrently and themes that emerged included reaction to impending surgery with sub-themes of inappropriate disclosure, fear of death, readiness for surgery, and effect of waiting in the theatre. Also, the theme information gap had sub-themes of pre-operative care, expectations at the theatre, and undue delays. The study emphasized the need for health professionals to provide effective education to the public and patients, on surgery and its effects, to curb negative perceptions about surgery. Key wordsPre-operative care, pre-surgery experience, general surgery, emergency surgery, planned surgery, ethnography Pre-operative care, rendered to a patient before surgery is performed, is an important aspect of peri-operative experience. The pre-operative period is characterised by anxiety attributed to fear of the unknown, pain and death (Rosen, Svensson, & Nilsson, 2008). However, the Ghanaian surgical patients' pre-operative experiences have not been fully explored. An insight into the pre-operative experiences of surgical patients could inform the future delivery of care. This could subsequently enhance the post-operative management and recovery to these patients. An effective pre-operative care manual would ensure early recovery and early discharge of surgical patients.

“…Psychrobacter species are considered rare opportunistic human pathogens ( 8 ) and have been isolated from specimens obtained from human blood, cerebrospinal fluid, brain tissue, urine, ears, eyes, vulvae, wounds, and other cutaneous sources ( 8 , 9 ). P. phenylpyruvicus (formerly Moraxella phenylpyruvica ) has been associated with bacteremia, endocarditis, septic arthritis, foot abscess, and surgical wound infection ( 9 – 11 ) .…”

“…The probability of P. okhotskensis being a human pathogen was predicted to be 0.54 by PathogenFinder ( 11 ); 10 pathogenic families were matched from Psychrobacter arcticus 273-4, which corresponds with previous reports that Psychrobacter spp. can be considered opportunistic pathogens in humans and livestock ( 12 – 15 ).…”
