Is Preoperative Happiness Influencing BREAST-Q Outcomes?
Happy patients demonstrated higher satisfaction levels and improved psychosocial and sexual well-being compared with unhappy patients. SES played a role in patient satisfaction and overall well-being. Further research is warranted to identify suitable interventions, such as screening and early referral, that can help improve patient-reported outcomes for patients undergoing breast reconstruction.
