ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of Williams life skills training (WLST) on preoperative anxiety and trait coping strategies in patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery. Methods A total of 120 patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery were randomly divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method with 60 cases each. The control group was given general preoperative nursing intervention, on the basis of which the observation group gave WLST. Before and after the intervention, the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale and Trait Coping Style Questionnaire were used to evaluate the patients. Results Before intervention, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the preoperative anxiety and information needs scores of the observation group was (10.02 ± 2.53) and (4.02 ± 1.05) points respectively, while in the control group was (15.89 ± 3.20) and (7.96 ± 1.62) points respectively, the difference was statistically significant (t=7.952, 8.447, P<0.05), and negative coping score was (29.07 ± 6.14) points lower than the control group (33.86 ± 7.12) points, positive response score was (33.89 ± 7.64) points higher than the control group (29.77 ± 6.71) points, the difference was statistically significant (t = 7.647, 7.981, P <0.05). Conclusion WLST can effectively improve preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing general anesthesia and improve their coping ability, which is conducive to the successful implementation of anesthesia and surgery.
