Surgical fear and sleep quality effect the postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing brain tumor surgery: cross sectional study
Authors' conclusion
As a result, surgical fear, sleep deprivation, and pain during the perioperative period negatively impact recovery quality and prolong the healing process.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing craniotomy under GA for brain tumor, university hospital, October 2020–August 2021
- Participants
- 101 patients
- Outcome
- Postoperative quality of recovery (Quality of Recovery Questionnaire) and its determinants (surgical fear, sleep quality)
Methodological detailssingle-centre
- Single-centre
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Determinants of postoperative quality of recovery
- Fear of surgery vs sleep quality: moderate negative correlation (r = −0.377; p = 0.000)
- Fear of surgery vs postoperative recovery quality: weak negative correlation (r = −0.252; p = 0.011)
- Preoperative sleep quality vs recovery quality: weak positive correlation (r = 0.297; p = 0.003)
- Fear, sleep, LOS, pain and age best predictors of postoperative quality of recovery (R2 = 0.295; p = 0.000)
- Hierarchical regression analysis
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Sex differences
- Women: higher mean fear of surgery score, lower sleep quality and postoperative quality of recovery than men (p = 0.045)
