The influence of preoperative anxiety on early prognosis and immune function in lung cancer patients af-ter radical resection
Objective To explore the influence of preoperative anxiety on early prognosis and Post-traumatic growth after radical lung cancer surgery.Methods Eighty-eight lung cancer patients from October 2018 to June 2022,all of whom underwent radical lung cancer surgery.patient's anxiety on the same day before surgery were assessed.They were set as the anxiety group and the no anxiety group based on the evaluation results,and 46 cases and 42 cases re-spectively.The visual analog scale(VAS),first time out of bed,and length of hospital stay between two groups of patients at 24 hours after surgery,and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory(PTGI)was evaluated 1,3 and 5 days after surgery.Results The 24-hour VAS score,first time out of bed,and hospital stay in the anxiety group were signifi-cantly lower than those in the non anxiety group(P<0.05).PTGI scores of the two groups were gradually increased at 1d,3d and 5d after surgery,and the anxious group was significantly lower than the non-anxious group(P<0.05).Conclusion Preoperative anxiety can exacerbate postoperative pain,prolong bed rest and hospital stay,and lower levels of post-traumatic growth.
