The book is the first of its kind to specifically outline the
psycho-educational nursing interventions required by the anxious,
adult patient undergoing elective, ambulatory surgery. Anxiety
management is a considerable issue for the majority of surgical
patients and has been recognised as such for many decades. However,
no formal nursing intervention currently exists to support patients
during this acute phase.
This book is one of the first to provide strong evidence for the
way in which patients can be assisted in the management of their
anxiety. Moreover, it provides future direction for surgical
nursing intervention in this new era of minimal invasive surgery
where patients undergoing elective procedures increasingly require
less physical nursing intervention and spend very little time
within the acute hospital setting.
