Surgical Psychoprophylaxis Team
Support and support for the patient and their family in coping with the surgical procedure.
Surgical Psychoprophylaxis is a therapeutic process that aims to help the patient and their family navigate the surgical experience in the best possible way. Surgery is always a stressful situation, not only for the patient, but for the entire family.
Our team of psychologists specializing in Surgical Psychoprophylaxis will provide the patient and their family with tools to help them process anxieties and fears, and will work with them to understand whether the information they have is adequate, with the aim of going through the surgical process in the best psychological condition and with the most appropriate resources.
Surgical Psychoprophylaxis focuses, within an interdisciplinary framework, on emotionally preparing the patient (child, boy, or adult) and their family to face a surgical procedure with the least possible psychological consequences. It is a task, based on medical information, that includes understanding and processing it. It involves containing and clarifying all the feelings and emotions that arise due to surgery.
In the child, as well as in their parents, the impact of the information can produce anything from anxiety to outright expressions of anxiety, anguish, or aggression.
Our team of psychologists specializing in Surgical Psychoprophylaxis will help you during this surgical process, so that you can navigate it in the best possible conditions.
