Brief Summary

Anxiety occurs both before and after surgery in up to 80% of patients. Anxiety of patients before and after surgery can lead to unwanted events and effects. Studies have shown that stress has various effects on surgery such as delayed wound healing, elevated blood sugars in diabetics could result in diabetic complications and also difficulty managing post-operative pain. Hence giving the patient proper mental and physical care is utmost essential.  In this study we aim to support the patient by supplying appropriate mental care to the patient through spiritual intervention pre-operation and assessing its utility post operation. The effectiveness of the intervention provided would be measured by the visual analog scale (VAS) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21).
