Transurethral prostate resection (TURP) effect of anxiety before surgery, pain after surgery and sleep quality

This study is a descriptive and cross-sectional type of research that is planned and applied to determine the effect of anxiety on pain and sleep quality after surgery in patients who will have radish surgery. The universe of the study consisted of individuals who had radish surgery at Kırklareli State Hospital Urology Clinic between June 2018 and December 2018, and 85 patient individuals whose samples met the research criteria and were informed and received permission. The patient identification form, which includes demographic information, was used to determine preoperative anxiety, the operation-specific Anxiety Scale (PAO), the numerical Pain Scale (VAS) to determine postoperative pain levels, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI) to measure postoperative sleep quality. Descriptive statistical methods and parametric tests were used with the NCSS 2007 program for the analysis of the data. The mean age of patients undergoing TURP was 70.79±7.40 years, the mean of the patients was 19.79±3.72, the mean of the VAS score after surgery was 4.65±1.91 and the mean of PUKI was 6.75±3.21. There was a positive statistically significant correlation between the total score of the patients and Vas pain score after the surgery (p=0.008; p<0.01). 71.8% (n=61) of the individuals had poor sleep quality, but there was no significant association between preoperative anxiety and sleep quality (p=0.679; p>0.05). As a result, it was found that the level of anxiety before surgery positively affected pain in the post-operative period and was not effective on sleep quality in patients undergoing radish.
