Özet
Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the anxiety and depression levels of orthopedic traumatology patients and the perception of nursing care. Methods: This study, which had a descriptive and correlational design, included 231 patients hospitalized in the orthopaedics and traumatology clinic between August 2019 and September 2019. Data were collected using the data form, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Patient’s Perception of Nursing Care Scale. Number Cruncher Statistical System 2007 (Kaysville, Utah, USA) was used to analyze the data. Results: The average score of the “anxiety” sub-scale of the HADS among the patients participating in the study was 6.80±4.36; the “depression” sub-scale mean score was 6.35±4.10. The mean score of the Patient’s Perception of Nursing Care Scale was found to be 69.71±9.44 points. The HADS “anxiety” sub-scale scores of women were found to be higher than those of men. The HADS anxiety and depression sub-scale scores of patients whose income is less than their expenses were found to be higher than those of the other patients (p<0.01). Conclusion: Patients’ perceptions of nursing care were positive. Patients with low levels of anxiety and depression had higher satisfaction with nursing care. It is thought that the results of the study will play an important role in guiding nurses to define anxiety and depression in orthopedic traumatology patients and increasing the quality of patient care in the preoperative and postoperative periods.
