Frequency of postoperative difficulties in patients operated at the Department of Surgical Diseases of the General Hospital Pula

Postoperativne poteškoće se javljaju kod velikog broja pacijenata nakon operativnog zahvata, no one ne ugrožavaju život pacijenta nego produžuju oporavak. U postoperativne poteškoće ubrajaju se: mučnina i povraćanje, bol, žeđ, štucavica, abdominalna distenzija, problemi sa stolicom i problemi s mokrenjem. Posljedica su operativnog zahvata, primjene lijekova prije, tijekom i nakon zahvata, neaktivnosti te promjenama u uobičajenom unosu hrane i tekućine. Medicinska sestra kao član multidisciplinarnog tima, ima važnu ulogu u sprječavanju, pravovremenom prepoznavanju i otklanjanju poteškoća. U sklopu rada provedeno je istraživanje na odjelima Službe za kirurške bolesti Opće bolnice Pula. Operirani pacijenti svrstani su prema spolu, dobi, stupnju obrazovanja i odjelu na kojem su boravili. Pomoću slika prikazan je broj operiranih pacijenata prema spolu kod kojih je bila prisutna poteškoća te su tražili pomoć medicinske sestre. Navedena je i pojavnost pojedinih postoperativnih poteškoća prema odjelima i zadovoljstvo operiranih pacijenata na pojedinom odjelu sa brzinom rješavanja poteškoće od strane medicinske sestre.Postoperative difficulties occur in a large number of patients after surgery, but they do not endanger the patient's life, but prolong recovery. Postoperative complications include: nausea and vomiting, pain, thirst, hiccups, abdominal distension, stool problems, and urination problems. They are the result of the surgical procedure, the use of medication before, during and after the procedure, inactivity and changes in the usual food and liquid intake. As a member of a multidisciplinary team, the nurse has an important role in preventing, timely recognizing and eliminating difficulties. As part of this work, research was conducted at the departments of the Department of Surgical Diseases at the Pula General Hospital. The operated patients were classified according to gender, age, level of education and the department where they stayed. With the help of pictures, the number of operated patients by gender who had difficulties and asked for the help of a nurse was shown. In addition, the incidence of certain post-operative difficulties according to departments and the satisfaction of operated patients in a particular department with the speed of solving the problem by the nurse are listed
