Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to find out that if a specially designed educational program can help in reduction of pre-operative anxiety in breast cancer patients undergoing surgery as a part of their treatment.


Clinical Trial Description

Anxiety can be defined as an unpleasant subjective experience associated with the perception of real threat; therefore, it is a common symptom in connection with cancer. Breast Cancer patients undergo surgery at some stage of their treatment, Surgery details can be overwhelming and might lead to low retention of information and greater levels of anxiety which is the most prevalent psychological symptoms perceived by cancer patients. Studies have shown women with a diagnosis of cancer correlate with higher levels of preoperative anxiety. Increased anxiety elicits physiologic stress responses that may impede healing and alter responses to postoperative pain.It can also lead to delayed recovery, prolonged hospital stay and increased need of postoperative pain medications. Pre-Operative Anxiety may also cause delayed recovery from Anesthesia and can also compromise the effectiveness of anesthesia .Furthermore, it can lead to other post-operative complications such as nausea, vomiting, and delayed wound healing. Various Pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods have been used for reduction of pre-operative anxiety and one such non-pharmacological method is educating the patients about the experience of surgery pre-operatively which we aim to study in our population. ;
