To examine the moderating impact of surgical coping in the relationship between pre-operative surgical anxiety and post-operative surgical recovery.
The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the surgical department of various hospitals across Punjab, including the Allied Hospital, Faisalabad, District Headquarters Teaching Hospital, Sargodha, Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, and Margalla Institute of Health Sciences, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from May 1, 2018, to May 1, 2019. It comprised surgical patients of either gender aged 18-60 years. Data was collected using the Amsterdam Pre-operative Anxiety and Information Scale, the Surgical Recovery Scale, and the Coping with Surgical Stress Scale. Moderation analysis was applied using PROCESS Macro 3.2.
Of the 200 patients, 85(42.5%) were males and 115(57.5%) were females. The overall mean age was 36.34±12.64 years. Threat avoidance (p<0.001) and information-seeking (p<0.001) coping strategies moderated the relationship between surgical anxiety and surgical recovery of the patients.
The use of appropriate coping strategy for prompt recovery post-surgery is critical.
探讨手术应对在术前手术焦虑与术后手术恢复关系中的调节作用。
本描述性横断面研究于 2018 年 5 月 1 日至 2019 年 5 月 1 日在巴基斯坦旁遮普省各医院的外科部门进行,包括 Allied Hospital(费萨拉巴德)、District Headquarters Teaching Hospital(萨戈达)、Jinnah Hospital(拉合尔)和 Margalla Institute of Health Sciences(拉瓦尔品第)。研究对象为年龄在 18-60 岁的手术患者,无论性别。使用阿姆斯特丹术前焦虑和信息量表、手术恢复量表和手术应激应对量表收集数据。使用 PROCESS Macro 3.2 进行调节分析。
200 名患者中,男性 85 名(42.5%),女性 115 名(57.5%)。患者的总体平均年龄为 36.34±12.64 岁。回避威胁(p<0.001)和寻求信息(p<0.001)应对策略调节了手术焦虑与手术恢复之间的关系。
为了术后迅速恢复,使用适当的应对策略至关重要。
