Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
PREPARE: Valutazione di un Intervento Psicologico Pre-operatorio in Pazienti Che Saranno Sottoposti a Chirurgia Del Pancreas
The study aims to verify if a short individual psychological intervention might increase perceived self-efficacy in managing preoperative anxiety in patients who will undergo pancreatic surgery. It is a randomized clinical trial where half of participants will attend a psychological intervention based on "the four elements protocol" by Elan Shapiro the day before surgery, while the other half will follow usual care.
Patients who have to undergo surgery experience multiple sources of stress. A recent
narrative review carried out on 115 studies by Powell et al. (2016) reported different and
inconsistent findings on the relation between psychological interventions and surgery
outcomes, due to the heterogeneity of these interventions, mainly based on information giving
and patient education, and the very different samples of patients considered. Some evidences
showed that pre-operative psychological interventions may contribute to reduce post-operative
pain, duration of hospital stay (mean difference of 0.52 days) and negative affect. No
studies were conducted with patients who had to undergo pancreatic surgery nor specific
psychological interventions were devoted to increase self-efficacy in managing anxiety.
The aim of the present study is to verify if a short individual psychological intervention
devoted to improve patient's ability to manage anxiety could increase his/her confidence to
cope with pancreatic surgery, either in terms of perceived self-efficacy (main outcome) or
less state anxiety reported on STAI-Y1 scale. Post-surgery outcomes are also collected: pain
reported during the days following surgical intervention, length of hospital stay and number
and type of clinical complications.
The study will involve 400 patients randomly divided in two arms and it is organized in four
phases: T0,T1,T2,T3.
T0: Once obtained the informed consent, demographic information will be collected using a
structured questionnaire. Clinical variables will be collected by self-administered tools,
for which patients can ask support, if needed.
T1: The day before surgery, all patients will indicate their perceived self-efficacy in
managing anxiety and will fulfil specific anxiety scales.
T2: after randomization, patients in the experimental group will participate to the
psychological intervention, whereas the control group will follow usual care.
T3: After surgery pain, length of hospital stay and the number of post-operative
complications within 30 days will be evaluated as secondary outcomes on all patients.
