The impact of health education in reducing some psychological disorders associated with surgical procedures on the quality of recovery in motor performance

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the impact of health education in reducing psychological disorders associated with surgical operations and its effect on the quality of motor recovery among patients in medical institutions. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design and included a sample of 75 patients from medical centers and rehabilitation institutions.

The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and a motor performance assessment questionnaire were used to evaluate balance, motor coordination, muscle strength, flexibility, and speed.

The findings revealed that health education contributed significantly to reducing anxiety and depression levels among patients and improved adherence to physiotherapy programs, which positively reflected on motor recovery quality. The results also demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between reduced psychological disorders and improved motor performance after surgery.

The study recommended integrating health education programs into surgical treatment plans and training healthcare professionals in psychological support and effective communication.
