Thyroidectomy patients exhibit significant mental illness, with prevalence increasing post-surgery. Pre-operative psychological screening can identify individuals needing support, improving patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Anesthesiology
  • Psychology

Context:

  • Thyroidectomy is a common surgical procedure.
  • Patients undergoing surgery may experience psychological distress.
  • Pre-operative assessment of mental health is crucial for surgical outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the prevalence of psychological disorders and personality traits in patients undergoing thyroidectomy.
  • To assess cognitive function and mental health status before and after surgery.
  • To evaluate the utility of psychometric tests in identifying patients in need of psychological support.

Summary:

  • A study of 33 thyroidectomy patients revealed a pre-operative mental illness prevalence of 29.6%, rising to 33.31% post-surgery.
  • Cognitive disorders were identified in 3.7% of patients using the Cognitive Mini-Test (CMT).

  • The Goldberg's General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and Cattell's 16-PF were used for psychometric evaluation.

    • Impact:

    • Findings suggest that approximately one in three thyroidectomy patients may benefit from psychological or psychiatric intervention.
    • The study advocates for anesthetists to utilize simple psychometric tools for pre-operative psychopathological evaluation.
    • Early detection and intervention can potentially improve patient well-being and surgical recovery.
