Surgery, Confidence, Positive emotion, Negative emotionAbstract
Perceived confidence of veterinary surgery students was assessed through negative and positive emotions after a series of surgical sessions. A survey was administered to 80 veterinary surgery students after the conclusion of the surgical sessions. Six negative emotions and five positive emotions were evaluated. The data of negative and positive emotions were analyzed on a Likert scale. The surgeries were performed on dogs in the operating rooms of the Academic Unit. Surgeries of the upper respiratory tract, digestive tract, urinary system, reproductive tract and musculoskeletal system were included. The surgical procedures performed allowed generating different emotions as the students acquired different surgical skills when manipulating soft and hard tissues of the mentioned organs and systems. Tension stood out in each of the surgical sessions performed, the other negative emotions showed movements depending on the type of surgeries, hence the first session marked more to certain emotions, continuing stable afterwards, except in the surgical session in the musculoskeletal system. The positive emotions showed a tendency to taste, desire and expectation to experience the action of the basic principles of surgery.
