KATASTROFIZÁCIA A SPOKOJNOSŤ PACIENTA S LIEČBOU POOPERAČNEJ BOLESTI
CATASTROPHIZING AND PATIENT SATISFACTION WITH POSTOPERATIVE PAIN TREATMENT

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: The patient enters the perioperative process with certain expectations. Sometimes the expectations are positive - expectation from healing, sometimes it is real fear, stress, catastrophizing that may have a bad impact on the overall perioperative period. Patients' worst concerns include fears of postoperative pain. If we are able to identify patients already preoperatively who experience excessive performance concerns, we are able to help these patients with targeted interventions to help them achieve their satisfaction with the treatment of postoperative pain as much as possible. The aim of our research was to identify the patient's concerns before surgery and to understand the relationship between catastrophizing and satisfaction with the treatment of postoperative pain. Methods and material: 246 patients participated in the study. We made it through questionnaires in two phases. Even before the surgery, patients completed questionnaires where, among other things, they should rate the intensity of their concerns, numerically, on a scale of 1 to 4 points.
