dc.description.abstract | Studies reveal that preoperative information hastens recovery, reduces postoperative complications and improves patients’ satisfaction. It is expedient to explore the preoperative information needs of patients as assumptions cannot be employed to identify said preoperative information patient needs. It was discovered in a study in the Ashanti Region of Ghana that few of the nurses follow steps to explore the anxiety and information needs of patients. The study investigated how preoperative anxiety and information needs of patients are explored and managed by nurses at district hospitals in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. | en_US |
