Patient education nurse anesthetist

The Bachelor degree thesis title is "Patient education by anesthesiologist nurse". Thesis is focused on the transfer of information between patient and anesthesiologist nurse. Furthermore it is focused on anesthesiologist nurse patient education before undergoing planned medical treatment. There were two objectives established for the research part. The first objective was to ascertain weather the anesthesiologist nurse participates in patient education anticipating the medical treatment. The second objective was to compare and determine the differences in anesthesiologist nurse patient education in two regional hospitalsRecorded interviews were analysed by coding and categorizing the data obtained. Even though the multi-professional cooperation is perfectly functional in these two hospitals, subsequent data analysis has shown that the patient education by anesthesiologist nurse is not taking place before the patient is admitted to the operating room and takes place only when the patient enters the preparation room where, consequently, the nurse becomes a guide to the patient. First the nurse introduces herself or himself and proceeds to educate the patient about the upcoming medical procedure. Above all, the anesthesiologist nurse tries to reduce patients' anxiety and through the comprehensive approach gain his or her confidence. In our opinion, nurse anaesthetists should be more involved in the patient education before the patient is admitted to the operating room
