Background: Surgery is one of medical interventions which can cause fear, anxiety, and stressed because of its effects toward the integrity of body and soul. Nurses have significant roles in any preoperative care which is helping patients to decrease preoperative anxiety by using complementary therapy. The use of music therapy as one of the complementary therapies is not common in Indonesia. Therefore, scientific studies to prove the role of this therapy to decrease the level of anxiety of pre-operative patients is needed. Objective: To investigate the effects of music therapy in reducing anxiety levels of preoperative patients. Methods: A quasy experimental study with pre-test and post-test design with control group was applied to 50 respondents from medical ward in Panembahan Senopati Hospital of Yogyakarta who met the inclusion criteria.Dara were then analyzed by using t-test statistical analysis. Results: The control group showed the increased value of anxiety level of0.8 without music intervention (t= - 1503, df = 24, p<.05), whereas the intervention group showed the decreased value of anxiety level of -5.52 (t=5.081, df=24, p<.05). Meanwhile the independent t-test results for both groups showed a significant difference between group (t= 3,373, df=48, p<.05). Conclusion: Music therapy has significant effect in reducing preoperative anxiety levels of patients. Keywords: anxiety, preoperative, music therapy

This study explores behavioral health professionals’ perceptions of granular data. Semi-structured in-person interviews of 20 health professionals were conducted at two different sites. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed. While most health professionals agreed that patients should control who accesses their personal medical record (70%), there are certain types of health information that should never be restricted (65%). Emergent themes, including perceived reasons that patients might share or withhold certain types of health information (65%), care coordination (12%), patient comprehension (11%), stigma (5%), trust (3%), sociocultural understanding (3%), and dissatisfaction with consent processes (1%), are explored. The impact of care role (prescriber or non-prescriber) on data-sharing perception is explored as well. This study informs the discussion on developing technology that helps balance provider and patient data-sharing and access needs.

Abstract Purpose To investigate, if patients with complex proximal tibial fracture have realistic expectations on open reduction and internal fixation. Methods 114 patients (mean 49 years, SD ± 13) with closed AO-type B and C proximal tibial fracture were grouped (group B, respectively C). Prior to surgery expectations concerning knee function, pain, return to work/sports, and the risk for osteoarthritis was assessed with the Hospital for Special Surgery-Knee Surgery Expectations Survey (HFSS-KSE) and a non-validated ten-item survey. Results 92% of patients expected at least an almost natural knee postoperatively. All items regarding restoring knee function were ranked to be at least important in both groups. 65% in group B and 47% in group C expected at most occasional pain. 83% in group B and 67% in group C expected full return to work without any limitations. Patients with low physical work intensity expected significantly shorter incapacity to work in both groups (7.8, respectively 8.9 weeks). 71% in group B and 60% in group C expected to return to sports with at most small limitations. 33% in group B and 22% in group C assumed risk for osteoarthritis will be prevented by surgery. Conclusion Expectations on surgery for complex proximal tibial fracture are high regardless of fracture type. The prognosis of many health and lifestyle domains was overestimated. The risk for osteoarthritis was underestimated. This study should sensitize surgeons to discuss realistic expectations. This may help to improve patient comprehension what leads to sensible expectations, resulting in improved patients´ satisfaction. Level of evidence IV.

Background: Preoperative anxiety and depression are independent predictors of clinical outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. However, few studies have evaluated correlations between outcomes such as pain and range of motion (ROM) after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and preoperative anxiety and depression. Purpose: To evaluate the effects of preoperative anxiety and depression, measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), on early pain and ROM after rotator cuff repair. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: A total of 144 consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were enrolled and divided into 2 groups according to HADS scores: group A, those with a healthy psychological status (n = 103; anxiety ≤7 and depression ≤7), and group B, those with psychological distress (n = 41; anxiety ≥8 or depression ≥8). Clinical outcomes were assessed using the visual analog scale for pain (pVAS) and ROM at 3 and 6 months postoperatively and annually. Results: There were no significant preoperative differences in age, sex, tear size, pVAS scores, and ROM. However, at 3 months postoperatively, group A showed significantly lower mean pVAS scores (2.2 ± 1.3 vs 3.4 ± 1.8, respectively; P = .001) and significantly higher mean forward flexion (146.4°± 23.0° vs 124.1°± 28.2°, respectively; P < .001) than group B, as well as significantly higher mean levels of internal rotation at the back (T11.5 ± 2.8 vs L1.9 ± 2.5, respectively; P < .001) and significantly higher mean external rotation (42.4°± 15.9° vs 35.2°± 16.8°, respectively; P = .019). At 6 months postoperatively, the mean pVAS score was still significantly lower in group A than in group B (0.8 ± 1.6 vs 1.8 ± 2.1, respectively; P = .016), but other ROM measurements had no significant differences. There was also no significant difference in clinical and functional outcomes at the final follow-up. Conclusion: Anxiety and depression negatively affected clinical outcomes after rotator cuff repair. Recovery from pain and of ROM after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair occurred more quickly in patients with a healthy psychological status. Therefore, assessments of preoperative psychological status should be emphasized to improve early clinical outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
