Family physicians can significantly improve patient outcomes by providing psychological support before amputations. Preoperative interventions help reduce postoperative distress and aid in the grieving process.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Over 90% of amputations result from chronic disease complications.
  • Anticipated amputations offer a crucial window for patient psychological preparation.

Observation:

  • Patients exhibit common reactions before and after amputation.
  • Family physicians play a vital role in the preoperative period.

Findings:

  • Psychological intervention before amputation leads to smoother postoperative adjustment and grieving.
  • Family physicians can facilitate adaptation by offering accurate information and involving the patient's family.

Implications:

  • Early psychological support by family physicians can mitigate amputation-related psychological distress.
  • Emphasizing patient resilience and coping skills enhances adaptation post-amputation.
