Article Synopsis
- Patients in emergency departments experience more stress than those in outpatient settings, particularly regarding Medically Unexplained Physical Symptoms (MUS).
- A study involving 138 MUS patients found that 75% attributed their symptoms to psychosocial factors, correlating with higher perceived stress levels compared to those attributing their symptoms to organic causes.
- The findings suggest healthcare professionals should consider both psychosocial factors and stress management when treating MUS patients to improve patient care.
