Effect of preoperative nursing visit on preoperative anxiety and postoperativecomplications in candidates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a randomized clinicaltrial.Scandinavian Journal of Caring sciences,27(4), pp.994-998.IntroductionAdvancements in medical science have not been equal in every sector. Surgeries arestill accompanied by various complications that can greatly threaten patients’ lives. Inanticipation of their surgeries, patients often suffer from anxiety, which seems to affect theperioperative psychosomatic health outcomes. Further postoperative outcomes are heavilydependent on the preoperative status of the patient (Ettema et al. 2014). Empirical findingshave suggested an association between preoperative anxiety and the onset of postoperativecomplications (Attias et al. 2016). Efforts are in progress to mitigate this issue, therebyproviding respite for the distressed patients, through the integration of individualized andgeneric complementary medicine treatments. In recent contexts, several interventionstrategies have been streamlined to combat postoperative complications and anxiety levels inthe patients concerned. However, there is a dearth of studies containing sufficient evidence insupport of preoperative nursing interventions that might exert positive influences oncombating postoperative complications and anxiety levels in patients.

3CRITICAL APPRAISALin future. Evidence-based practice will help to develop the optimal healthcare deliverysystem, which in turn, will bring forth the best outcomes for the patients (Stevens 2013). The following assignment will deal with the critical appraisal of two articles that arein alliance with the chosen topic. Critical appraisal is an important component of research,whereby the quality, reliability and applicability of information presented is assessed using aspecific appraisal framework (LoBiondo-Wood et al. 2014). The Critical Appraisal SkillsProgramme (CASP) tool checklist for randomized controlled trials (RCT) will be utilized tocritically appraise the articles that are designed as RCTs.Literature SearchUndertaking a systematic and extensive literature review is an essential component inresearch for appropriate performance of a study. Unbiased and detailed discussion pertainingto the topic under investigation is particularly important to provide greater insight into thesubject (Aveyard 2014). Hence, higher the number of articles referred to in a study, greaterwill be the chances of a good quality discussion. Google scholar was used for the primarysearch. It helped to collect basic and relevant information about the role of preoperativenursing education and visits in reducing complications among patients undergoinglaparoscopic cholecystectomy and cardiac surgery. Essential inquiry for the topics discussedin the two papers was done by utilising several databases like CINAHL, Medline andSCOPUS. The bibliography of the relevant articles was also searched to make a list of therelated studies that needed a review. Several keywords were used during the database search.The keywords were “pre-operative education AND anxiety”, “pre-operative nursing visitAND complications”, “nursing education AND cardiac arrest”, “anxiety ANDcomplications”, “preoperative anxiety OR nursing visit”, “laparoscopic cholecystectomyAND nursing education”. The databases displayed huge results. To narrow down the search,
