The current study represents an attempt to examine psychologic changes, emotional impact, expectations, and satisfaction in patients before and after orthognathic surgery. Levels of presurgical anxiety, postsurgical depression, body concept, and all the important changes in physiologic functions were measured by 4 questionnaires, which were self-administered before and after surgery. The results of this study suggest that surgery does, in fact, produce improvements in self-esteem and body image (patient's evaluation of his or her facial attractiveness) and in mastication and speech, and therefore in their lifestyle. All patients experienced a medium to high level of presurgical anxiety, but no major problems after surgery.
本研究旨在探讨正颌手术前后患者的心理变化、情绪影响、期望及满意度。通过4份问卷对术前焦虑水平、术后抑郁程度、身体观念以及生理功能的所有重要变化进行测量,问卷由患者在手术前后自行填写。本研究结果表明,手术确实能改善患者的自尊和身体形象(患者对自身面部吸引力的评价)以及咀嚼和言语功能,进而改善其生活方式。所有患者术前均经历中度至高度焦虑,但术后未出现重大问题。
