The influence of patients' previous experiences on the perception of anesthesia and postoperative recovery

Session

Medicine and Nursing

Description

Introduction: Patients' previous experiences, including medical procedures, anesthesia, and personal traumas, can profoundly influence medical interventions. These experiences shape perceptions and responses to treatment, affecting the efficacy and safe- ty of procedures. Negative experiences with anesthesia frequently result in anxiety and fear, complicating the planning and i m- plementation of procedures. Patients with bad prior experiences may avoid recommended treatments or necessitate customized methods to lessen their anxiety. Methodology: The literature was searched in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, NLM, and Google Scholar, using keywords like "risks of sedation," "complications of sedation," and "patient experience with sedation.". We reviewed research that was conducted within the last 15 years, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case-control studies, and cross-sectional evaluations. Results and discussion: Prior medical experiences frequently elicit psychological responses, including heightened anxiety and fear, which can profoundly influence the perception of anesthesia and postoperative recovery. Patients with negative experiences may favor specific forms of anesthesia or sedation, and their previous encounters may prolong recovery due to heightened stress. Incorporating prior experiences into treatment planning can significantly enhance the safety and efficacy of medical interven- tions. Conclusion: Prior patient experiences substantially influence their perceptions of anesthesia and recovery. Essential factors encompass effective communication and modifying treatment based on previous experiences to improve treatment results and patient satisfaction.

Keywords:

patient experiences, anesthesia, psychological effects, postoperative recovery, communication.
