Abstract
A review has been made on 22 studies to examine the effect of preoperative information on the patients' postoperative well-being. The most frequent variables studied were: knowledge, hospital stay, physical activity, pain, anxiety and satisfaction. In 17 of the 22 studies reviewed, preoperative information had a positive influence on the results, i.e. decreased hospital stay, pain or anxiety. The remaining five studies could not show any influence of preoperative information on the variables studied. According to our review, preoperative information increased the well-being of adult patients after surgery. Further, a structural rationalisation of the preoperative information can save both time and money. This review is written in Swedish.
