Sentimentos vivenciados pelos pacientes mediante procedimento cirúrgico

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the main feelings experienced by patients during the perioperative period. It is an integrative bibliographic research developed through the search for articles in the SciELO, CAPES, and PUBMED databases, using the descriptors: feelings, surgery, and perioperative. The final sample consisted of ten publications that met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that feelings such as anxiety, fear, insecurity, and sadness are the most frequent, with fear of anesthesia and surgical complications being the most cited factors. Effective communication, empathy, and humanized care proved essential to reduce anxiety and promote confidence. It is concluded that the nursing team plays an essential role in providing comprehensive care, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of surgical patients.
