IMPACT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL NURSING AND DIET GUIDANCE ON PATIENT WELL-BEING FOLLOWING THYROID SURGERY

Abstract

Thyroid nodules are a common thyroid condition, with a significant proportion being benign. In recent years, the detection of benign thyroid nodules has increased due to heightened health awareness. Surgical removal, an invasive treatment, carries risks that can lead to psychological and physiological stress reactions in patients, hindering recovery. To address these issues, nursing interventions such as psychological support and dietary guidance are crucial. Personalized health education can help patients develop the right understanding, beliefs, and behaviors, facilitating their active engagement in clinical treatment and improving overall prognosis.
