Özet
Although surgical procedures can be life-saving, the decision to operate inevitably causes stress in patients. That stress results in physiological and psychological responses. Neuro-endocrine responses occur while waiting in the preoperative period. These can then result in physiological changes in vital signs, including elevated heart and respiratory rates and blood pressure, and pain. It is therefore essential to ensure that the patient is physiologically and psychologically prepared in the preoperative period. The patient's ability to cope with potential problems relies on good preparation and support. By providing appropriate care before, during and after surgery, the nurse should manage care while ensuring patients are able to cope with the trauma of the operation and potential complications.
