Background of the Study: Preoperative education is an essential component of surgical care, as it helps patients understand what to expect during and after surgery, reducing uncertainty and anxiety (Eze et al., 2024). Anxiety is a common response to the prospect of surgery, and it can exacerbate pain perception, lengthen recovery times, and negatively affect overall surgical outcomes (Suleiman et al., 2023). Nurses play a pivotal role in providing preoperative education, offering emotional support, and preparing patients psychologically and physically for surgery (Yakubu et al., 2023). In Bauchi State, there is limited research on the impact of preoperative education by nurses on post-surgical outcomes such as anxiety and pain management (Muhammad et al., 2024).
Effective preoperative education can significantly reduce anxiety by addressing patients' concerns and providing clear information about the surgical process (Ahmed et al., 2024). Furthermore, well-informed patients are more likely to adhere to pain management strategies and participate actively in their recovery (Aliyu et al., 2023). This study aims to evaluate the impact of preoperative nursing education on reducing post-surgical anxiety and improving pain management in Bauchi State hospitals.
Statement of the Problem: In Bauchi State hospitals, many surgical patients experience high levels of anxiety and inadequate pain management post-surgery, which can hinder recovery. The role of preoperative nursing education in addressing these issues is not well understood. This study seeks to investigate how preoperative education by nurses can reduce post-surgical anxiety and improve pain management for surgical patients in Bauchi State hospitals.
Objectives of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of preoperative nursing education on post-surgical anxiety levels in Bauchi State hospitals.
- To assess the effect of preoperative education on patients' post-surgical pain management outcomes.
- To identify the factors that influence the effectiveness of preoperative nursing education in improving post-surgical anxiety and pain management.
Research Questions:
- How does preoperative nursing education affect post-surgical anxiety levels in Bauchi State hospitals?
- What is the impact of preoperative nursing education on patients' post-surgical pain management?
- What factors influence the effectiveness of preoperative nursing education in reducing anxiety and improving pain management?
Research Hypotheses:
- Preoperative nursing education significantly reduces post-surgical anxiety levels among surgical patients in Bauchi State hospitals.
- Preoperative nursing education improves post-surgical pain management outcomes in Bauchi State hospitals.
- The quality of preoperative education positively correlates with the level of post-surgical anxiety and pain management effectiveness.
Scope and Limitations of the Study: This study will focus on surgical patients in Bauchi State hospitals, evaluating the effect of preoperative nursing education on anxiety and pain management. Data will be collected through patient surveys and interviews. A limitation of the study is the reliance on self-reported data, which may be influenced by patients’ emotional states.
Definitions of Terms:
- Preoperative education: Information and support provided to patients before surgery to prepare them for the procedure and reduce anxiety.
- Post-surgical anxiety: Feelings of fear or nervousness experienced by patients after surgery, which can affect recovery.
- Pain management: Strategies used to alleviate pain and discomfort following surgery, including medications and non-pharmacological methods.
