Abstract
The aim of the study was to know the response of the relatives attending the squint surgery of their ward. A trained secretary administered an eight item questionnaire by live / telephonic interview. Of the 44 attendees, two left the Operation Theater before completion of the surgery. Mean age of the patients was 7.2 years ± 7.8 and that of the attendees was 36.1 years ± 8.5. Forty patients had a surgery under general anesthesia and four under local anesthesia. Eleven (25%) attendees experienced an increase in anxiety. Thirty-six (82%) attendees reported increased transparency, 38 (86%) reported increased confidence, and 43 (98%) reported increased awareness. None found any disadvantage. Twenty-seven (61%) recommended this practice for all and 16 (36%) recommended the practice selectively. The internal validity of the questionnaire was fair (Cronbach′s Alpha = 0.6). It was concluded that the presence of relatives in the Operation Theater during the surgery could bring in more transparency, accountability, confidence, awareness, and trust.
O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a resposta dos familiares que acompanharam a cirurgia de estrabismo de seus dependentes. Uma secretária treinada aplicou um questionário de oito itens por meio de entrevista presencial/telefônica. Dos 44 acompanhantes, dois deixaram o centro cirúrgico antes da conclusão da cirurgia. A média de idade dos pacientes foi de 7,2 ± 7,8 anos e a dos acompanhantes foi de 36,1 ± 8,5 anos. Quarenta pacientes foram submetidos à cirurgia sob anestesia geral e quatro sob anestesia local. Onze (25%) acompanhantes relataram aumento da ansiedade. Trinta e seis (82%) acompanhantes relataram maior transparência, 38 (86%) relataram maior segurança e 43 (98%) relataram maior conscientização. Nenhum apontou qualquer desvantagem. Vinte e sete (61%) recomendaram essa prática para todos e 16 (36%) recomendaram a prática de forma seletiva. A validade interna do questionário foi razoável (Alfa de Cronbach = 0,6). Concluiu-se que a presença de familiares no centro cirúrgico durante a cirurgia pode proporcionar maior transparência, responsabilização, segurança, conscientização e confiança.
