Editorial Commentary: Psychological Resilience Promotes Positive Outcomes After Surgery.

ABSTRACT

The significance of psychological factors in orthopaedic surgery has long been underestimated. High psychological resilience plays an important role in achieving a positive postoperative outcome in terms of mental health, pain, and functional outcomes. This underscores the need for a more holistic approach to patient care, one that considers not only the physical aspects of treatment but also the emotional and psychological well-being of patients. This may involve implementing strategies to enhance resilience, providing support resources for coping with the challenges of surgery and recovery, and fostering open communication between patients and healthcare providers. Patients who feel supported and empowered throughout their surgical journey are likely to experience improved overall satisfaction with their care. Patient emotional well-being is integral to achieving optimal recovery.
