Each surgery is an emotional stimulus associated with fear of its consequences . The scar after a surgery makes a physical, emotional and psychological mark with symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger and post-traumatic stress (Ngaage & Agius, 2018). Surgical treatment, however justified, is an interference with the physical integrity of the patient. The closer to the procedure, the more the patient considers the dangers arising from it.

Studies show that the incidence of pre-operative anxiety in patients waiting for scheduled surgery may be high (47%) and having strong social support significantly reduces its intensity (Bedaso & Ayalew, 2019).Increased anxiety increases the number of complications and reduces the pain threshold (Kim et al., 2014;Marik & Flemmer, 2012).Lack of a support group along with subjective sense of loneliness significantly reduces the mental and physical immunity of the patient (Aliche, Ifeagwazi, Chukwuorji, et al., 2020).
