ANXIETY DURING THE PERIOPERATIVE AND POSTOPERATIVE PHASES AND ITS MANAGEMENT IN GYNECOLOGICAL MALIGNANCIES: A THOROUGH EVALUATION OF CLINICAL EVIDENCE

Abstract

The primary treatment for gynecological cancers consists of surgical intervention because it delivers definite potential for cure among females. Modern research shows gynecological cancer patients experience a high risk of anxiety throughout perioperative and postoperative periods despite anxiety symptoms producing negative impacts on surgical recovery. Multiple treatment methods prove effective for decreasing anxiety both before and after gynecological cancer surgery. The author conducted an extensive review process to collect evidence surrounding this subject matter. An exhaustive database investigation yielded twenty-eight studies that met our requirements. The study shows that females with gynecological tumors of the uterine, cervical, ovarian and endometrial or vulvar types experience increased anxiety during surgical operations and post-treatment recovery periods. Various socioeconomic therapeutic approaches, such as emergency intervention nursing, multifaceted collaborative, ongoing nursing, cognitive nursing, broad cognitive nursing, nostalgia therapy, intellectual, behavioral managing stress, hospital-family incorporated continuing nursing, high-quality nursing care, relaxation-focused nursing programs, and relaxation/counselling interventions, when used alongside psychotropic medications, show potential for alleviating perioperative and postoperative anxiety. The research delivers extensive information regarding pre-operative and postoperative anxieties in gynecological oncology patient care. Research results show that gynecological malignancy patients need effective clinical caregivers to manage their perioperative and postoperative anxiety, thus underscoring the requirement for more research on appropriate therapeutic strategies.
