The operation can have significant impact on patients’ mental states. Patients with degenerative bone and joint diseases tend to exhibit symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fear, insomnia and so on before the operation. At the same time, patients’ personality traits may also cause mental problems that affect preoperative preparation and postoperative recovery. Previous literature has failed to provide consistent findings regarding this issue, which may be due to the differences in terms of the specific sampling, measures, and patients. Depression and anxiety can be influenced by the type of bone disease, social support, level of education, and prior surgical treatment. In order to understand patients’ mental states, we need to apply measures derived from psychology, which complies with the majority of current studies on this topic. Other scholars also examined the mechanisms through which psychological problems developed. This study reviewed previous literature applying psychology to the surgical treatment of bone diseases. We discussed methods that may relieve patients’ anxiety and depression, including medical and non-medical treatment. We found that medical treatment and non-medical treatment can be applied simultaneously, which can lead to better postoperative rehabilitation and recovery.
