Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A specific 16 questions questionnaire had been developed for this study, the "Health and Employment After Gastro Intestinal Surgery Dialogical Questionnaire" (HEADS-DQ). It investigate peculiar patient competences involved after surgery: future forethought; context evaluation; consequences of own actions forethought; use of available resources, each relevant to four areas: clinical; familiar; working; daily-activities.
Through this questionnaire patient ability in dealing with after surgery consequences will be evaluated in order to define targeted support, which will be offered by professional psychologists. These interventions efficacy will be evaluated through another administration of the HEADS-DQ.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Supportive intervention
A research psychologist will support participants, promoting their competences in the recover of work and social activities, such as the compliance.
Promotion of competences of participant involved in the management of the post operative period
The research psychologist will be in touch with the participants for 9 months after the surgery (weekly, biweekly or monthly) in order to help them recovering social and work activities, and dealing with the consequences of the surgery. Specifically, four competences will be promoted (future forethought; context evaluation; consequences of own actions forethought; use of available resources), each relevant to four areas (clinical; familiar; working; daily-activities).
