Patients who undergo surgery receive general anaesthesia or any form of
conduction anaesthesia during the operation. For most people it is strange,
unexpected and for many something completely new to be a patient and undergo
surgery. Awake conduction anaesthetic patients? experiences from the
intraoperative period were little studied. The purpose of this study was to
examine awake conduction anaesthesia patients? experiences. An empirical study
with nine patients that had surgery was carried out in southern Sweden. The
interviews were analysed with content analysis. The results are presented in
the tree categories that emerged from the analysis of these interviews and they
were: sense of security is influenced by nursing staff, experiences of self
during surgery and experiences of time and waiting. The overall theme that
emerged in the analysis was a desire for closeness in the relationship and
understanding of the unknown. The conclusion is that awake conduction
anaesthetic patients wants: To fell safe and that they would be well cared for
by the nursing staff, prefer to listen to music intraoperative, would like to
be offered the possibility to see their operations, to get information about
what happens during the operation, would like more information on how local
anaesthetics acts and feels, experience that things take time intraoperative
and wants to have influence on their situation intraoperative.
