Abstract
Surgical intervention is carried out with the intention of either a cure that is elimination or repair of pathology or an improvement in the patient‟s quality of life. Postoperative complications can be minimized by the preoperative care that the patient receives and the amount of information and education given to the patient preoperatively. The research was carried out to assess the effectiveness of preoperative teaching on post operative exercises in preventing selected post operative complications. Time series design was used for the study. Using the purposive sampling technique, 40 abdominal surgery patients were selected and data was collected using demographic profile, tool for assessing the respiratory status, Bates Jensen Wound Assessment Tool and an opinionnaire. There was a significant difference between the pre test and post-test respiratory status scores of general appearance (F(3,76)=9.393), respiratory pattern (F(3,76)=34.18), respiratory rate (F(3,76)=96.64), SpO2 (F(3,76)=49.42) and heart rate (F(3,76)=6.76) at 0.05 level of significance . There was a significant difference between the different post-test wound status scores in the experimental group (F(2,57)=92.15, p<0.05). The mean post-test wound status scores of experimental group (22.3±2.36, 18.4±1.85, 14.35±1.108) was also significantly lower than the mean post-test scores of the control group (29.95±3.89, 26.45±1.83, 24.25±2.233) in post-test 1, 2, and 3, respectively (post-test 1-t(39)=8.404, post-test 2-t(39)=14.02, post-test 3-t(39)=17.74) at 0.05 level of significance.
