Abstract
<p class="s15" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Background and purpose </strong><span class="s14">– Interdiscipli­ nary researches demonstrate that patients’ fears and anxieties about surgery play </span>a key role in the success of postoperative recovery. Psychoeducation is a professional information transfer method that aims to increase patients’ knowledge about their dis­ ease, and how to cope with it, and to emo­ tionally process the problems associated with the disease. If patients feel competent in their own healing process after surgery, they will experience less pain and become self­sufficient sooner, thereby the number of nursing days spent in the clinic reduces.<br><span class="s15"><strong>Methods</strong> </span>– In this study the effect of psycho-education before spinal surgery on the use of postoperative analgetics was investigated. <span class="s13">Results </span>– The drug consumption of the study group who had been previously administered patient education is significantly reduced in comparison the control group.<br><strong>Conclusion </strong><span class="s14">– Cooperation of a psychologist in surgical therapy promotes early recovery of patients in physical and mental well­being and reduces the costs of rehabilitation as well.</span></p>.
