Keywords:
stress, coping, Surgical Nursing.Abstract
This invest igat ion analyzes stress occurrences either in daily life and immediate preoperative period of 100 urology surgical pat ient s. An instrument includin g the pat ie nt s' personal data records and a 43- ite m questionnaire approaching the somatic and psycho logical stress manifestations was used for data collection. Stress man ife stat ion were scored for both s i tuat io ns according the patients' own evalua tion. Observations were made on the male (8 4%) affected by benign pathologies (59 % ), and those to be submitted to major and medium surgeries (8 4% ). Most patients (80%) had been submitted to previous surgeries. Results showed the predominance of patients with low total stress scoring either for daily l if e situations and imme d iate preoperative period. The comparison between the total stress scoring among the studies subjects showed statistical significance for muscular manifestations with h ighe r scoring for daily l i fe sit ua tions. Analysis of the present results provided a better understanding concerning the coping or adaptat ion st rateg ies developed by patients in order to deal with the st ressef u l situations ahead .
