Psychological Resilience Promotes Positive Outcomes After Surgery

The significance of psychological factors in orthopaedic surgery has long been underestimated. High psychological resilience plays a significant role in achieving a positive postoperative outcome in terms of mental health, pain, and functional outcomes. This underscores the need for a more holistic approach to patient care, one that considers not only the physical aspects of treatment but also the emotional and psychological well-being of patients. This may involve implementing strategies to enhance resilience, providing support resources for coping with the challenges of surgery and recovery, and fostering open communication between patients and healthcare providers.
