Relationship Between Preoperative Coping Styles, Immediate Postoperative Reactions and Some Aspects of the Psychosocial Situation of Open-Heart Surgery Patients One Year After the Operation

  • Conference paper
Psychopathological and Neurological Dysfunctions Following Open-Heart Surgery

Abstract

For patients undergoing open-heart surgery the operation is a stressful event. From other investigations on psychosomatic patients it is well-known that certain events, especially those which have the character of object loss, may trigger states of illness [7,16]. In these cases not only the stressful event itself is discussed, but other circum stances of the patient’s life are included as well [5,12]. These are development of personality, object relationships, and his/her social condition. There are many invest igations on open-heart surgery patients which in this sense look for special predictors for postoperative reactions [2,6,8,11,14,15,19].
