Abstract:
Objective To investigate the preoperative psychological state of patients with pulmonary nodules in order to make the content of the education more "individualized and humanized". Methods We conducted a consecutive questionnaire study for 107 patients who were planning to undergo pulmonary resection surgery from May 2018 to July 2018 in our department. There were 54 males and 53 females with an average age of 56.8±11.2 years. The questionnaire content included two parts: personal basic information and 20 questions about surgery, complications, follow-up and hospitalization expense. Results There were 60.7% of the patients diagnosed with pulmonary nodules by CT scan during physical examination, and 52.3% of the patients had strong will to undergo pulmonary surgery to resect nodules; 64.5% of patients wanted doctors to tell them the extent of the disease and whether the tumor could be cured by surgery, and 30.0%of patients concerned whether chief surgeon would complete the whole surgery. The surgery risk and postoperative complications were ignored by patients easily (5.6% and 14.9% respectively). The hospital expenses were not the primary concern of patients. Only 1.9% of patients believed that doctors used nonessentials which deliberately led to increased costs. Network follow-up was accepted by most patients (94.4%). Conclusion It will contribute to improve preoperative education rationality and effectiveness by understanding true psychological state of patients.
