This study evaluated the effects of a hospital-based counseling service on the physical recovery of surgical and medical patients. Their recovery was measured in terms of days on antibiotics, days to return to normal temperature, normal pulse and oral intake, and days on intravenous (IV) feeding. The effects of the sex, age, seriousness of physical problem, recovery rate, and digestive vs. genital system involvement of patients on these recovery measures were also monitored. Seriousness of physical problem proved to be the best predictor of patient recovery but, when its effects were controlled for, some beneficial effects of the counseling were observed.
本研究评估了一项基于医院的咨询服务对外科和内科患者身体恢复的影响。通过抗生素使用天数、恢复正常体温、脉搏和经口摄入量的天数以及静脉营养支持天数来衡量他们的恢复情况。还监测了患者的性别、年龄、身体问题的严重程度、恢复率以及消化系统与生殖系统受累情况对这些恢复指标的影响。结果表明，身体问题的严重程度是患者恢复的最佳预测指标，但在控制其影响后，观察到咨询服务有一些有益效果。
