ABSTRACT
Introduction: Surgery can cause anxiety and worry, such as waking up in pain, being
physically harmed or dying. This study aimed to assess the experience of
patients undergoing planned gynaecological surgery in the Obstetrics
Gynaecology and Reproductive Medicine department of the University Hospital
Centre of Bogodogo. Patients and methods: This was a cross-sectional study with
prospective data collection during the period from June 1 to August 31, 2018.
The study population consisted of patients who received scheduled
gynaecological surgery during the period. Results: Seventy-six (76)
patients underwent scheduled surgery and 62 were included. During discussion
with the gynaecologist, 58 patients (93.55%) were satisfied. When the surgery
was announced, 41 patients (66.13%) were anxious. At the consultation with the
anaesthetist 59 patients (95.16%) were satisfied with the discussions.
Fifty-five patients (88.7%) were anxious on admission to the operating theatre.
The quality of care was satisfactory for 61 patients (98.39%) and all patients
were satisfied with the care team. Conclusion: Periodic evaluation of
patients’ experiences should therefore be incorporated into care evaluation
policies in health facilities in order to contribute to continuous improvement
in the quality of medical and surgical care.
