Psychological Factors in Postoperative Fatigue

Abstract: The results indicate that psychological processes may well be relevant in the etiology of postoperative fatigue. In particular, the results relating to mood and expectations suggest that somatization may be particularly important in the first few weeks following surgery, whereas cognitive-behavioral factors and cardiovascular deconditioning may be more important in determining later-stage recovery.

“…In 987 lung cancer patients, Hopwood and Stephens [11] detected depression in 33%, and they found that fatigue was an independent predictor of depression in this group. Negative mood was found to be significantly associated with post-operative fatigue also in surgical patients, even after controlling for pre-operative fatigue and surgical variables [22].…”

“…La apuesta teórica del papel mediador de los procesos implicados en la regulación y la modulación de la respuesta emocional por el sistema nervioso central que proponen Kirmayer et al (2004), apoyaría estos intentos terapéuticos. También puede ser de interés la colaboración más estrecha entre las diversas especialidades médicas y los equipos de salud mental en el tratamiento de estos pacientes y su psicoeducación, al menos considerando aspectos como el de la fuerte asociación de las creencias y expectativas con las emociones y su influencia en los resultados de los tratamientos (Harris et al, 2008(Harris et al, , 2009Rubin, Cleare y Hotopf, 2004). De forma complementaria, más allá de los efectos de las terapias "verbales" podía ser de interés valorar el beneficio como técnicas complementarias de las terapias noverbales (musicoterapia, arteterapia, etc).…”

“…Evidence suggests that the more anxious a patient, the poorer the outcome in terms of hospital length of stay and complications [3]. It has also been established that anxiety and emotional distress have an association with prolonged convalescence and postsurgical fatigue (PSF) [4]. PSF has been defined as ''unpleasant and distressing symptoms associated with a major impact on the patient's quality of life'' [5].…”
