A qualitative exploration of patients’ emotional and psychological experiences across the spine surgery journey
People living with spine conditions and those who undergo spine surgery can experience pain, changes in independence, and emotional challenges such as anxiety, worry or low mood. While research has explored clinical outcomes, less is known about how people personally experience the surgical journey. This study aims to understand patients’ psychological and emotional experiences from before to after spine surgery through a one-to-one online interview, helping to inform more holistic patient care.
