- Abstract
Objective: to evaluate correlation between health guidelines and complications in the postoperative period after thoracic and upper abdominal surgeries. Method: a cross-sectional quantitative study with 266 individuals. Data were collected by a sociodemographic, clinical and care questionnaire. We included subjects of both sexes, with ages ranging from 18 to 80 years, who were in the postoperative ward after thoracic and/or upper abdominal surgeries. Results: 82 (30%) of the subjects received guidance in the postoperative period and 184 (70%) received no guidance. Four of the subjects who received guidelines developed some type of complication while 16 of those who did not receive guidance developed complications; therefore, the results were not statistically significant (p=0,4). Conclusion: in relation to the number of complications, when comparing individuals who received guidelines with those who did not receive, there was no statistically significant result.
