“…Some of the articles reviewed ( 42 - 43 ) reflect the importance of reliable information before the procedure, which reduces anxiety levels before surgery. For this reason, we believe that a nursing consultation, where the patients receive the complete and necessary explanation, would reduce the levels of anxiety before the implantation of the tube and during all the time in which they live with the nephrostomy ( 44 ) .…”

Objective: to evaluate the impact on the quality of life as well as anxiety and pain in patients with nephrostomy tubes. Method: this is a longitudinal descriptive study performed on a sample of n=150 patients. To evaluate the quality of life, the EuroQol-5D questionnaire was used; anxiety was quantified by the Beck Anxiety Inventory; to study pain, a visual analogue scale was employed. Results: statistically significant differences were found in the quality of life, with its worsening (r = 0.51; p <0.01) when evaluated at the first tube replacement. Patients presented mild to moderate anxiety before the procedure, which was reduced at the first tube replacement, although this difference was not significant (r = 0.028, p = 0.393). Finally, the degree of pain was also significantly reduced (r = 0.13, p<0.01) after six weeks. As for gender, women presented the worst values in the three variables studied (worse quality of life and greater anxiety and pain). Conclusions: nephrostomy tubes have a negative impact on the patient’s quality of life. During the time they live with these tubes, patients have mild to moderate pain and anxiety.

“…Anxiety, in particular, can have a number of impacts on the wellbeing of the family as well as the patient. Anxiety can interfere with family members' ability to receive and understand information as well as their ability to sustain family functioning 4,8 . Furthermore, anxiety can interfere with the family's coping strategies and ability to provide support to the patient 3,4 .…”

Perioperative nurses recognise that family members experience increased levels of anxiety during the wait for a relative undergoing a surgical procedure. It is often during this time that little or no meaningful communication occurs between family members and health professionals. It has been suggested that a structured information intervention has the potential to increase communication between families and health care professionals as well as decrease family members' anxiety. The aim of this study was to establish the effect of a structured communication program on anxiety of family members' awaiting relatives undergoing surgical procedures. A quasi-experimental design was used with a sample of 129 family members of patients undergoing surgical procedures in a tertiary hospital in Brisbane, Australia. Consecutive sampling was used to recruit family members for the control group and the intervention group. The intervention group received a structured intervention which included an information card as well as an in-person nursing report. The control group received usual care. A demographic data collection form and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were used to collect data. Results from the study suggest that the structured communication intervention reduced family anxiety; however, results were not statistically significant. An important finding of this study was that only one relative in the control group received information during the perioperative time period indicating a need to improve communication between families and staff. It was concluded that more nursing interventions designed to reduce family members' anxiety during the operative waiting period are needed.

“…Logo, a inclusão de familiares para a promoção de conforto durante o período intraoperatório pode contribuir para que se sintam seguros e confiantes em relação a cirurgia e os cuidados prestados, tanto durante a cirurgia, quanto na recuperação cirúrgica (Hamester et al, 2016). Família é um grupo de indivíduos ligados por laços de sangue e laços sociais, que se relacionam cotidianamente, produzindo significados e práticas associadas a saúde, doença e cuidado, além de contemplar as diversidades de relações na sociedade (Queiroz et al, 2015).…”

Objetivo: Validar a cartilha educativa para a promoção de conforto dos familiares da pessoa no período intraoperatório. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo metodológico, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, realizado em três etapas: Diagnóstico situacional e levantamento bibliográfico; Construção da cartilha educativa e Validação da cartilha educativa com nove juízes (experts). A avaliação ocorreu em duas etapas. Para análise dos dados quantitativos utilizou-se a taxa de concordância proposta por Domingues e colaboradores, e para os dados qualitativos utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin. Resultados: No primeiro momento 84,6% dos tópicos abordados obtiveram taxa de concordância insatisfatória, abaixo de 80%, na segunda rodada de avaliação, após alterações na cartilha, apenas um item não obteve taxa de concordância de 100%. Na análise qualitativa, a cartilha foi considerada ferramenta importante para a promoção de conforto e orientações necessárias para o processo de acompanhamento, e apontado possibilidades e limites para sua implementação. Conclusão: A cartilha foi considerada válida para a promoção de conforto dos familiares da pessoa no período intraoperatório.
