“…Preoperatif anestezi bakısı, operasyon için hastayı değerlendirmeye ek olarak hastaya, anestezi uygulamaları ve anestezi doktorunun rolü hakkında bilgi vermesi açısından önemlidir (4). Hastalar sıklıkla genel, rejyonel anestezi ve operasyonla ilgili kaygılar taşır (7,8).…”

“…Anestezi doktorları sıklıkla tanınmayan doktorlardır (3). Bu, operasyon planlanan hastaların kısa süre önce hastaneye çağırılması ve karmaşık bir ortama maruz kalmaları gerçeğine bağlanabilir (4). Hastaların birçoğu, çok fazla hastane personeli ile karşılaştıkları için operasyon öncesi anestezi doktoru ile karşılaştığını hatırlamaz (5).…”

Amaç: Anestezi ve anestezi doktoru, toplum tarafından daha tanınır hale gelmeye başlamıştır. Bu çalışmada operasyon, ağrı tedavisi veya sedasyon için anestezi polikliniğine başvuran hastalara anestezi ve anestezi doktoru ile ilgili bilgilerini, deneyimlerini ve kaygılarını belirlemek amacıyla bir anket hazırlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem:Katip Çelebi Üniversitesi Atatürk Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi, anesteziyoloji polikliniğine başvuran 18-90 yaş arasındaki 249 hastaya yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim durumu, meslek gibi demografik bilgiler, önceki anestezi deneyimi, alerji öyküsü, anestezi yöntemleri ile ilgili bilgileri, anestezi doktorunun görevleri ile ilgili bilgileri ve anestezi ile ilgili korkuları içeren, 20 sorudan oluşan anket uygulandı. Bulgular:Olguların eğitim durumunda en fazla yüzdeyi %26.1 ile ilkokul mezunları oluşturuyordu. Anestezi deneyimi olanlar olguların %44.6'sı idi. Olguların %48.2'si anestezinin uzman doktor tarafından uygulandığını biliyordu. Anestezi ile ilgili korkular sorgulandığında en fazla olguların %29.3'ü ile "öleceğim" cevabı verildi.Sonuç: Anestezi doktoru ve anestezi ile ilgili sorulara verilen doğru cevaplar ile anestezi deneyimi ve eğitim düzeyi (lise, üniversite) arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki mevcuttu. Eğitim düzeyi yükseldikçe olguların anestezi konusundaki bilgilerinin arttığı sonucuna varıldı.Anahtar Sözcükler: Anesteziyoloji, anket, bilgi. Abstract Aim: Public interest in anesthesia and anesthesiologist is increasing. In this study a questionnaire was set up to reveal patients' knowledge who were consulted anesthesia clinic for sedation, analgesia or anesthesia about the role of an anesthesiologist and their concern about anesthesia. Materials and Methods: Two hundred and forty-nine patients, aged between 18-90, who were referred to Anesthesia Outpatient Clinic of Katip Çelebi University Atatürk Education and Research

“…In a study investigating patients' knowledge of common medical terms and their surgical care, findings revealed that many held misconceptions about pain management and a significant number were unaware that the anaesthetist was medically qualified (Laffey 2000). It is important to recognise how familiar we may be with our hospital world, but for many it remains a frightening mystery.…”

Key Messagesr Patients often have poor understanding regarding pain management, which results in low expectations of pain relief and satisfaction with inadequate pain control.r The experience of pain has long been accepted as an inevitable part of surgical intervention, but new understanding reveals a dynamic and complex nervous system which can change in response to unrelieved pain, potentially leaving permanent damage and chronic pain.r Health care professionals often lack appropriate knowledge, attitudes and skills to effectively manage pain due to inadequate education.r Local hospital regulations and policies may inadvertently inhibit the effective management of pain by causing unnecessary delays to the timely administration of analgesics.r Globally, many people are denied good pain relief due to some countries' inability to effectively import and distribute morphine for medical reasons.

“…Previous anaesthetic experience has not been found to improve patients' perception of anaesthesia (Kindler et al 2002). This perception was previously found to be poorer in males, older patients and patients in the lower socio-economic groups (Laffey et al 2000). The poor perception was also more pronounced when the role of the anaesthetist outside the theatre was assessed (Khan et al 1999).…”

The scope of anaesthesia has broadened beyond the intraoperative care of surgical patients to include pain management, resuscitation and intensive care. Despite the key role anaesthesia plays in patient management, many misconceptions are still entertained by patients concerning the speciality.This prospective, descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, to determine the perception of surgical patients concerning the anaesthetist as a specialist and anaesthesia as a speciality. The hospital is a tertiary, multispecialty health institution located in the north central region of Nigeria.A questionnaire was administered to the patients to assess the patients' demographic data, type of surgery and the knowledge of the patient concerning the existence of the speciality of anaesthesia. The patients knowledge on the qualification of an anaesthetist and the patient's ability to recognise an anaesthetist in a picture were also assessed. Only ASA I and II patients scheduled for surgical procedures under general anaesthesia were recruited into the study.Sixty-five percent of respondents had no previous knowledge of anaesthesia before the index admission. One hundred and thirty-three (53.3%) respondents were not able to identify the healthcare personnel that would administer anaesthesia for their surgery. Only 40.6% patients realised that an anaesthetist was a medical doctor while 39.6% patients responded that the anaesthetist was a specialist in his field. Perception of anaesthesia was better of respondents who had been educated to tertiary level and those who had previous knowledge of anaesthesia.We conclude that surgical patients demonstrated inadequate knowledge concerning the field of anaesthesia and the anaesthetist as a specialist.

Patients’ knowledge of perioperative care

Abstract: Patients' knowledge of perioperative care is limited, with very little change during hospital stay. Novel educational approaches may be required to increase basic medical knowledge.
