Factors Impacting Readiness to Discharge Time from Recovery Room after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Keywords:
Anxiety, abdominal distension, information need, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, postoperative recoveryAbstract
Aim: To evaluate the relationships between preoperative anxiety, preoperative information need, bodymass index, operative time, abdominal distension and discharge readiness from the recovery room in the patient
underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods: The study involved 126 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The data
collected were the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale, abdominal distension level record
form and White’s fast-track recovery score. Descriptive statistics and Pearson product-moment correlations
were employed for data analysis.
Results: Most of the subjects were female (68.3%) with an average age of 55.5 ± 15.3 years. Twenty seven
percent of the subjects were anxious. The average level of subjects’ preoperative information need was 35%.
Forty nine percent of the subjects had a normal body mass index. The mean operative time was 60.7 ± 23.6
minutes. Fifty six percent of the subjects had abdominal distension in recovery period. Both preoperative
anxiety and abdominal distension had moderate significant correlations with readiness time to discharge from
the recovery room (r = 0.64, p <0.01 and r = 0.63, p <0.01, respectively). Similarly, preoperative information
need and body mass index had significant positive correlations with readiness time to discharge from the
recovery room (r = 0.32, p <0.01 and r = 0.20, p <0.05, respectively). However, the operative time was not
correlated with the time to discharge from the recovery room.
Conclusion: Healthcare providers should pay more attention to reducing preoperative anxiety by
providing more information to reduce anxiety and information about cause of abdominal distension that may
occur. They should also relieve postoperative anxiety in order to promote faster and better postoperative
recovery period.
