Abstract(s)
Background: In a phase of development as complex as adolescence, the surgical
experience is a great challenge. While there is some knowledge about manifestations
of anxiety in children, less is known about manifestations of anxiety in adolescents.
Likewise, the knowledge about adolescents needs for control of anxiety in the perioperative
period is missing.
Aims: To synthesize the existing research on the manifestations of anxiety in adolescents
in the perioperative period and to identify the adolescents needs for control of
anxiety in the perioperative period.
Methods: An integrative review was conducted using a literature search in five different
health databases. Only original studies related to the study topic were included. A
six-step method was used to develop the revision and to analyze the results.
Results: Of the 251 articles initially selected, only five met the inclusion criteria. A
total of 114 adolescents from five different countries were represented. The manifestations
of anxiety were grouped in psychological, social and physical. These manifestations
were mostly related with fear of surgery, how would they deal with pain, body
image change, anxiety itself and the separation from their friends. The needs were ‘to
be informed’ and ‘to be involved in the decisions about their own care process’.
Conclusions: The adolescents have manifestations of anxiety and specific needs to
deal with perioperative anxiety, which need to be taken into account in the planning
of perioperative care. Further research is needed to promote the development of an
evidence-based program tailored to answer to the adolescent’s needs and to minimize
their manifestations of anxiety in the perioperative period.
