Brief Summary
The overall aim of this program of research is to decrease anxiety in urogical scheduled patients for surgical intervention developing an nursing comunication instrument: a Guide of Hosting for urogical scheduled patients for surgical intervention.
Detailed Description
The overall aim of this program of research is to decrease anxiety in urogical scheduled patients for surgical intervention developing an nursing communication instrument: a Guide of Hosting for urological scheduled patients for surgical intervention. The purpose of the proposed project is to establish the feasibility and acceptability of this guide to decrease the anxiety in this patients, using a randomized clinical trial like a research design, which would test the effectiveness of this communication instrument in comparation to a control condition (patients without guide of housting). To achieve the investigators specific aims, the investigator conducted a randomized clinical trial (n=50), with two groups: intervention group (with Guide of Hosting) and control group (which shows a control condition). Valuation instruments were two validated scales: ESAS y HADS. Anxiety was the primary outcome variable assessed in the RCT; depression and pain were a secondary outcomes variables.
