A Qualitative Study on the Real Experiences and Needs of Patients with Brain Glioma During Awake Anesthesia Surgery
Abstract：Objective: To explore the real experiences and needs of patients with brain glioma during awake anesthesia surgery, providing a theoretical basis for developing targeted nursing interventions. Methods: A phenomenological research method was used, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 patients undergoing awake anesthesia surgery. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's 7-step method. Results: Three themes were identified: increased uncertainty before surgery and the establishment of self-defense mechanisms; special awakening experience during surgery with cognitive differences among patients; and stage-specific needs during the perioperative period, with strong demands for information and emotional support. Conclusion: Patients undergoing awake anesthesia surgery for brain glioma have multi-dimensional supportive needs during the perioperative period. Medical staff should pay attention to patients' emotional responses and psychological feelings, provide targeted support, enhance their ability to cope with the disease and prepare for surgery, and improve their medical experience.
