“…Patients miss up to an average of 6 wk of work following uncomplicated abdominal operations. A higher degree of POF is followed by worse emotional, physical, and functional outcomes [6]. POF may also be a source of increased health service costs, with patients who suffer from fatigue placing significantly greater demands on their primary health care teams compared with those who feel less tired [3][4][5].…”

“…For example, pre-surgery distress has been found to predict post-surgery pain (24–31); post-surgery nausea (6,32) and post-surgery fatigue (33,34) across a broad spectrum of surgeries. Within breast cancer surgical patients, pre-surgery distress also appears to be a harbinger of subsequent post-surgery side effects (31,35).…”

Prior to scheduled surgery, breast cancer surgical patients frequently experience high levels of distress and expect a variety of post-surgery symptoms. Previous literature has supported the view that pre-surgery distress and response expectancies are predictive of post-surgery outcomes. However, the contributions of distress and response expectancies to post-surgical side effect outcomes have rarely been examined together within the same study. Furthermore, studies on the effects of response expectancies in the surgical setting have typically focused on the immediate post-surgical setting rather than the longer term. The purpose of the present study was to test the contribution of pre-surgery distress and response expectancies to common post-surgery side effects (pain, nausea, fatigue). Female patients (n=101) undergoing breast cancer surgery were recruited to a prospective study. Results indicated that pre-surgery distress uniquely contributed to patients' post-surgery pain severity (P<0.05) and fatigue (P<0.003) one week following surgery. Response expectancies uniquely contributed to pain severity (P<0.001), nausea (P<0.012) and fatigue (P<0.010) one week following surgery. Sobel tests indicated that response expectancies partially mediated the effects of distress on pain severity (P<0.03) and fatigue (P<0.03). Response expectancies also mediated the effects of age on pain severity, nausea and fatigue. Results highlight the contribution of pre-surgery psychological factors to post-surgery side effects, the importance of including both emotional and cognitive factors within studies as predictors of postsurgery side effects, and suggest pre-surgical clinical targets for improving patients' postoperative experiences of side effects.

The results indicate that psychological processes may well be relevant in the etiology of postoperative fatigue. In particular, the results relating to mood and expectations suggest that somatization may be particularly important in the first few weeks following surgery, whereas cognitive-behavioral factors and cardiovascular deconditioning may be more important in determining later-stage recovery.
