Introduction: Contemporary psychology of health pays a lot of attention to issues of personal and social resources,
perceiving them as factors which favour the individual’s health and quality of life. Scientific studies confirm a posi‑
tive sense of the possibility to express emotions during hospitalization, operative treatment and convalescence. Stud‑
ies on the Courtauld Emotional Control Scale (CECS) in women during the perioperative period, treated for
gynaecological ailments, may enable identification of patients exhibiting deficits in this respect, who should be cov‑
ered by a special psychopreventive care. Methods: The studies involved 232 women treated surgically for various
gynaecological ailments and were carried out in two stages: on the day preceding the surgery and on the third day
after the surgery. The studies were carried out using the Courtauld Emotional Control Scale. The obtained results
were analysed statistically. Results: The level of negative emotions control was higher in patients aged over 40,
as compared to that in younger women. The category of operative procedure did not condition the level of emotion‑
al control, whether in the Total scale or in subscales of Anger, Depression and Anxiety in the preoperative period.
On the other hand, in the postoperative period a higher suppression of emotions within the Anxiety subscale was found in women after operation with a major injury of tissues, as compared to the patients after operation with
a minor injury of tissues. Conclusions: The values of the total level of the Courtauld Emotional Control Scale (total
CECS) obtained in our studies, as well as in the subscales of Anger, Depression and Anxiety point to women’s ten‑
dency to suppress negative emotions in the perioperative period. |
