https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2014.4.36-40
Abstract
Objective. To analyze the course of anxiety and resistance to stress in preoperative patients.
Material and Methods. The study included 72 patients (58 girls and 14 boys) with scoliosis of different etiology who had similar psychological status at the stage of preoperative examination. The study group included 34 patients, the control one - 38. Psychological status was evaluated with a set of psychodiagnostic instruments. Patients from the study group underwent biofeedback computer game-based training. Condition of patients in the immediate postoperative period was analyzed by their subjective evaluation on a pain scale. They also completed the treatment satisfaction questionnaire before discharge from the hospital.
Results. The severity of anxio-depressive experience was successfully reduced in patients from the study group (p = 0.01). The high correlation between the positive experience index and subjective comfort index (0.85) was observed. Inverse correlation existed between the pain score and the positive experience index (-0.69). Analysis of questionnaires showed significantly higher average satisfaction with all treatment parameters in the study group than in the control one (p = 0.00).
Conclusions. The presented set of psychodiagnostic instruments in conjunction with the technology of biofeedback computer game-based training can be used for diagnosis and correction of emotional stress in patients preparing for surgery, and for prediction of their condition in the immediate postoperative period, with a view to timely psychoprophylaxis.
