Abstract

The purpose of this research was to assess the efficacy of hypnotherapy on perceived tension and wound healing in patients who had undergone abdominal surgery. The research methodology was implemented in both intent and data collection approach: a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group follow-up. The statistical population comprised all patients admitted to Golestan Hospital of Tehran in 2020 who were candidates for abdominal surgery. Fifty of these patients, consisting of 24 males and 26 females, were selected at random and divided into two study groups using a readily available sampling method. The initial cohort underwent an eight-session hypnotherapy intervention, while the subsequent cohort served as the control group. The data were gathered at three time points prior to, during, and subsequent to the intervention and follow-up period using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) and the Perceived Stress scale (PSS). Analysis of the data was conducted using repeated measures analysis of variance. It was conducted using SPSS software version 23. In the post-test and follow-up phases, hypnotherapy was found to influence the wound recovery and perceived stress levels of patients who had undergone abdominal surgery (P>0.05). On the basis of these results, it is possible to conclude that hypnotherapy can be utilized as an adjunctive therapy to reduce perceived stress and enhance wound healing in patients recovering from abdominal surgery.
