- Abstract
Objective: To assess the effect of educational intervention on obesity indicators in preoperative bariatric surgery patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental study conducted from June to August 2017 at a referral hospital for bariatric surgery in Ceará, with 55 participants (28 in the Control Group and 27 in the Intervention Group). The Control Group was submitted to verbal instructions on the surgical procedure, routine of the institution. The Intervention Group, in addition to this routine, underwent an educational intervention performed by a nurse, weekly, from reading an educational booklet with information and clarifications about the perioperative period for three weeks. The Wilcoxon test was used for analysis to compare obesity indicators between collection times and the Mann-Whitney test to compare variables among groups. Results: The variables weight reduction, body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio and percentage of overweight increased in the Control Group and statistically significantly reduced in the Intervention Group. Conclusion: Access to information in the printed material was effective for learning and significantly contributes to the reduction of obesity indicators, which are clinically important for bariatric surgery. The use of educational technologies should be encouraged in the preoperative preparation of gastroplasty candidates.
