[Factors of anxiety and the course of the postoperative period of patients with cancer of the stomach and rectum (author's transl)].
A clinicopsychological examination of 175 patients of the stomach and rectum operated radically in 1975--1976 in the N. N. Petrov Research Institute of Oncology was carried out. The relationship between the anxiety level after MMPI, stage of disease and the character of the course of the postoperative period were studied. Results are showing that the manifestation of anxiety and the level of it after MMPI is one of indices of the state of patients and to some extent the reason for developing complications after surgery. Apparently that this group of patients with a manifested factor of anxiety (about 55%) needs a special psychotherapeutic approach before operation and a special attention and care after it.
