    Preoperative functional anxiety, a state that aids surgical coping, is influenced by personal control. Understanding this biopsychosocial phenomenon is crucial for improving patient recovery outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Science
    • Psychology
    • Medical Sociology

    Background:

    • Preoperative functional anxiety aids surgical coping and is influenced by personal control.
    • Personal control enhances coping mechanisms, modulating anxiety to a functional level.
    • Preoperative functional anxiety, coping, and locus of control directly impact postoperative recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a conceptual framework for understanding preoperative functional anxiety.
    • To explore the biopsychosocial aspects of preoperative functional anxiety.
    • To highlight the need for nursing research on coping and personal control in relation to preoperative anxiety and recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and conceptual analysis.
    • Development of a theoretical model.

  • Synthesis of existing research on anxiety, coping, and control.

    • Main Results:

    • A conceptual framework integrating preoperative functional anxiety, coping, and locus of control was developed.
    • The framework illustrates the interplay between personal control, functional anxiety, and postoperative recovery.
    • Identified gaps in current nursing research regarding these concepts.

    Conclusions:

    • Preoperative functional anxiety is a key factor in surgical patient adaptation.
    • Personal control is a critical moderator of anxiety and a facilitator of recovery.
    • Further nursing research is needed to build theory around these interconnected concepts for enhanced patient care.
