Background: The psychological resilience of patients with traumatic lower extremity fractures is relevant and has been studied in the postoperative rehabilitation phase; yet, few studies have focused on the early preoperative phase.
Objective: This study aims to explore preoperative psychological resilience in patients with traumatic lower extremity fractures.
Methods: This single-center cross-sectional survey design study was conducted over 5 months from December 2022 to April 2023 in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai, China. We used a convenience sampling method to assess psychological resilience in traumatic lower extremity fracture patients electronically. We administered the online surveys using the Questionnaire Star applet prior to surgery using the following tools: (a) general information questionnaire, (b) Numerical Rating Scale, (c) Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and (d) General Self-Efficacy Scale.
Results: A total of N = 175 patients were studied, of which n = 166 patients fully completed the survey for a response rate of 95%. Patients with traumatic lower extremity fractures demonstrated a low degree of psychological resilience preoperatively (M = 49.28, SD = 13.64). Patients' psychological resilience and self-efficacy showed a significant positive correlation (r = .577). Factors associated with patients' psychological resilience in multivariate linear analyses included level of education, medical insurance, and self-efficacy (p < .05).
Conclusion: We found that preoperative psychological resilience in patients with traumatic lower-extremity fractures is poor and influenced by various factors; thus, future efforts should focus on providing timely, targeted interventions.

Objective: Medical error is an inevitable part of modern healthcare, with a potential harmful impact for the patient and the surgeon. The phenomenon of negative personal responses for healthcare workers in the aftermath of adverse events is described as the "second casualty" and can involve significant physical and psychological distress. We present results from a cross-sectional survey of surgeons and their experience in the aftermath of adverse events or complications.

Introduction: Patients undergoing surgical procedures are often prone to developing acute stress disorder (ASD) postoperatively. Presently, oxytocin nasal spray has shown significant potential in the treatment of stress-related neuropsychiatric diseases. However, there are few reports on the use of oxytocin nasal spray in postoperative ASD, a condition that can potentially develop into a high-risk factor for post-traumatic stress disorder.
