SOME PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS IN PERIOPERATIVE PERIOD

Aim. To carry out a comparative estimation of the influence of surgical treatment on women’s psychological status. Materials and methods. A pilot cohort prospective study was conducted. Psychological status in the pre-and-postoperative period was assessed in women aged 20-45 years, who had to be operated. Group 1 included 30 women with general surgical pathology, group 2-30 patients treated at gynecological unit. Results. The level of situational anxiety, associated with gynecological surgeries, was more stable and did not reduce after the surgery. No significant differences regarding the dynamics of health status and mood in patients of gynecological and surgical profile were detected. Conclusions. The level of patients’ activity after gynecological surgeries (mean postoperative activity index - 40) tended to decrease.
