Ciruss

Stress and anxiety are part of human existence. All people feel it in a moderate degree, as an adaptive response. When left untreated, anxiety symptoms persist and are associated with significant impairments in functioning, poor quality of life, and a huge economic burden due to its close relationship with several body functions. It is important to understand anxiety as a feeling or an emotional state that help us to face stressful everyday situations.
However, stress and anxiety in patients who must undergo surgery involve a significant negative emotional state, generating a physiological activation in the preparation of the organism to cope with the perceived danger, which can impair the correct development of the surgical procedure. As a result, stress and anxiety causes an increase in postoperative pain, greater need for painkillers and prolongation in hospital stay days.
