Preoperative Sleep Quality and Anxiety Impact on Abdominal Gynecologic Cancer Surgery Outcomes

This study focuses on understanding how the quality of sleep and levels of anxiety before surgery affect recovery after abdominal surgery for gynecologic cancer. It targets women aged 18 and older who are scheduled for this type of surgery, excluding those with psychiatric or major neurological conditions. The research aims to find out if poor sleep or high anxiety might lead to more pain or complications after surgery. By identifying these links, the study hopes to improve preparation and care for patients undergoing these surgeries, potentially leading to better recovery outcomes. Participants in the study have their sleep quality and anxiety levels measured using specific questionnaires before their surgery. Sleep quality is assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and anxiety is measured with the Beck Anxiety Inventory. After surgery, their pain levels are tracked using a scale at several intervals, and additional data on pain medication needs, early complications like infections or nausea, and hospital stay duration are recorded. The study also considers factors like mobile phone use at night and satisfaction with pre-surgery counseling to see if these influence outcomes. Data is gathered through interviews and hospital records, with careful statistical analysis to ensure accurate results.
