The effects of preoperative education via WeChat video on surgery in patients with intraspinal anesthesia / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of preoperative education via WeChat video on surgery in patients with intraspinal anesthesia. Methods Totally 160 patients with intraspinal anesthesia enrolled from February to November,2016 were divided into experimental group(80 patients)and control group(80 patients)by random digits table method.The control group was given routine preoperative care, while the experimental group was added preoperative animations education via WeChat. Postoperative satisfaction,anesthesia cooperation degrees,anxiety scores and operation stop/delay rates were recorded. Results The satisfaction rate was 96.3%(77/80)and 80.0%(64/80)in the experimental group and the control group, there was significant difference between the two groups(x2= 8.60, P <0.05). Anesthesia coordination degree was 94.9% (74/78) and 86.8% (66/76) in the experimental group and the control group, there was significant difference between the two groups (x2= 5.13, P<0.05). Surgical shutdown/extension rate was 2.5%(2/80)and 12.5%(10/80)in the experimental group and the control group,there was significant difference between the two groups (x2= 4.41, P<0.05). The postoperative anxiety scores before visit in the experimental group and the control group were(63.35±5.76)and(63.66±6.61)points, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). After visit, the S-AI scores in the experimental group and the control group were(44.23±5.96)and(49.23±5.85)points,there was significant difference between the two groups(t=2.21, P<0.01). Conclusions Preoperative education via WeChat video can reduce patients' anxiety, lower operation stop rate, increase patient's anesthesia cooperation degree,improve the operation quality and ensure the operation smoothly.
