Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
We will use a questionnaire called the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to explore this. We will recruit 60 patients for this study, 30 participants who received operative management and a further 30 participants who did not receive surgery for comparison. Patients who are not able to consent to the study or those who are not able to complete the questionnaire will not be recruited. We will collect routine data from the patients to provide a description of the patients that we are studying. Patients will complete the HADS questionnaire once during their hospital stay and then in 1 month's time. We will contact patients through telephone for the 1 month follow up.
This study will enable us to determine how common are the symptoms of anxiety and depression among this group of patients. This will help raise awareness of the problem which may prompt further intervention and management plan to address this important issue.
