A Comparative Study on the Efficiency of Psychological Treatment for Post – traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Surgical Patients

This report presents a comparative analysis of surgical patients who experienced stress and trauma before and after the surgery. Post-traumatic stress disorder is highly prevalent following a major operation; thus, this study is being conducted to see what the impact of psychological treatment is for these patients. There will be two groups: one controlled group in which patients will receive psychological treatment for PTSD, and another independent group in which patients with PTSD will not receive any therapy. This topic was chosen to demonstrate how positive thinking and psychological treatment might help patients before and after surgery. The data will be obtained via a questionnaire composed of 20 items that will include questions on their fear, stress, and health problems before and after surgery. The expectations from this study are that the controlled group will recover faster than the independent group.
