“…Being there for the patient throughout the operation ensured reassurance. These findings are supported by Soltner et al [29], who found that patients being cared for by just one emphatic anesthesiologist were more satisfied and rated quality of care higher. Emphatic behavior was also related to reduced levels of anxiety.…”

Establishing a purposive interaction with a patient who is in a vulnerable situation prior to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery poses a challenge for the nurse anesthetist. The aim of this study was to identify and describe the interaction between the patient and nurse anesthetist immediately prior to elective CABG surgery. An observational study including 11 situations where the patient and the nurse anesthetist interacted was performed. A theoretical selection of patients and nurse anesthetists was made and data were analyzed using constant comparative method. The core category, Reassurance, emerged from the categories Continuity, Confirmation and Control. Continuity was characterized by expedient anesthesia nursing of high quality, Confirmation was related to communication in a trusting atmosphere and Control was associated with skilled nursing interventions in the thoracic operating theatre.In conclusion, reassurance can be achieved through a well-structured anesthesia nursing performance at the thoracic operating theatre, and by focusing on the patient and continuously giving him/her information during the preoperative preparation.

“…Although some studies report that physiological and music intervention is effective in reducing anxiety levels,5,6,7,8 few studies have examined the effects of physiological and music intervention on perioperative safety in elderly patients. For example, psychological intervention and direct communication with patients by anesthetists and nurses before surgery was found to effectively reduce patient anxiety and improve patient satisfaction 7.…”

PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of perioperative psychological and music interventions in elderly patients undergoing elective surgery on anxiety, post-operative pain, and changes in heart rate variability (HRV) to ascertain if perioperative psychological and music interventions can affect overall anxiety levels.Materials and MethodsFourty elderly patients undergoing elective surgery were randomized to two groups; one group received psychological and music intervention, and the other was the control. The intervention group underwent psychological intervention and listening to music for 30 min before surgery.ResultsThe mean change in HRV as determined by low frequency (LF) power measurements. After the intervention, the ratio of mean LF to high frequency (HF) power decreased significantly in the intervention group compared to before the intervention (p<0.05). In the control group, mean LF measurements and the ratio of LF:HF did not change significantly. In the intervention group, mean HF power was significantly higher after the procedure than before (p<0.01). Moreover, the mean self-rating anxiety score of the intervention group decreased after the procedure compared to before (p<0.05). The mean visual analogue score of the intervention group 6 hours after surgery was significantly lower than that of the control group (p<0.01).ConclusionPerioperative psychological and music interventions can reduce anxiety and postoperative pain in elderly patients.

Nevertheless, some authors believe that these indicators do not fully reflect the quality of anesthesia and are surrogate [3].At the end of the last century, the most important provisions for patients were identified, such as the availability of medical care, understandable and in an accessible way informing the patient and his loved ones, respect for the patient's values, his preferences and needs, reducing fear and anxiety in the perioperative period, physical comfort, qualitative analgesia, constant care with the attraction of a relative and close friends [4].The aim of this review is to examine the patient's satisfaction as a criterion of the quality of anesthesia. Material and MethodsThe publications included in the databases MEDLINE, PUBMED, COCHRANE, materials of such organizations as the American Society of Anesthesiologists, American Society of Regional Anesthesia, European Society of Anaesthesiology, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, National Guideline satisfaction of patient Clearinghouse. The Results and DiscussionIn recent years, a fundamentally new aspect has begun to be discussed -the patient's view of the medical care provided, taking into considering his views on both the upcoming therapy methods and their results [5]. In regarding these circumstances, arose the term "patient satisfaction". The patient satisfaction after anesthesia -the result, the ratio of expectations and what the patient actually experienced is a very difficult task, because it depends on cultural, socio-demographic, emotional, etc. factors.At present, the assessment of satisfaction is mainly carried based on of the sociological approach, which consists in examining the patients' opinion about medical care by interview. Most questionnaires include such issues as the quality of information provided to the patient, assessment of contact with staff, psychoemotional state (anxiety, anxiety, fear, etc.), quality of care for the patient etc. Detailed information on methods for assessing satisfaction can be found in the article Barnett et al. [6]. Highquality studies of patient satisfaction with anesthesia are rare [7].Very important is the empathic attitude of an anesthesiologist to a patient who wants to feel safe and needs psychological support [8]. Provision in the preoperative period to the patient of exhaustive information about anesthesia, discussion with the patient of the choice of the method are the most important factors affecting the satisfaction with anesthesia. Moreover, it is shown that patients need more information in case of the proposed regional anesthesia, in comparison with general anesthesia [9]. It is shown that most patients prefer a joint non-paternalistic decision making concerning the choice of the method of anesthesia. Moreover, a conversation with several specialists increases the satisfaction of the patient, whereas one conversation with an anesthesiologist on...
