Basics of a Personalized Approach to Medical and Psychological Support of Cardiac Surgery Patients

Abstract

The concept of a personalized approach is becoming more and more popular in modern medicine. Today it is often understood as a multidisciplinary approach designed to improve therapeutic options, as well as help diagnose diseases at an early stage. In a cardiac surgery clinic, such an approach can take into account not only biological, but also psychological risk factors for the disease, especially its history, clinical condition, mental and psychological status to create an individual route within the framework of medical and psychological support for the patient at the stages of treatment and rehabilitation. The aim of the work was to develop, based on the analysis of the literature and the authors' own work experience, the organizational and psychological foundations for the implementation of a personalized approach in medical and psychological support of cardiac patients. The fundamental principles of support in the work include the following: the principle of accessibility, the principle of openness, the principle of continuity, the principle of complexity, the principle of integrativity, the principle of differentiation, the principle of variability, the principle of participativeness, the principle of awareness, the principle of prevention. In the process of medical and psychological support of cardiac surgical patients within the framework of a personalized approach, the most optimal was the identification of the following clinical stages, different in duration and content, corresponding to the periods of outpatient and inpatient treatment and rehabilitation of patients: preoperative outpatient, preoperative inpatient, early postoperative, postoperative inpatient, postoperative rehabilitation and rehabilitation outpatient stages. For each of the clinical stages of medical and psychological support, a differentiation of goals, objectives, duration and expected results of the impact was carried out, which makes it possible to personalize the programs for accompanying a cardiac patient and individualize the route for each patient, taking into account the specificity and relevance of the influence of biologi cal, psychological and social factors.
