Surgical interventions for degenerative cervical disease: Impact on patient quality of life, mental health, pain relief, and spiritual health.

While surgical intervention is a common treatment, its impact on holistic well-being, including spiritual health, has not been thoroughly explored. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of surgery on QOL, pain-related disability, mental health, and spiritual well-being in patients with degenerative cervical diseases.

Methods

This prospective cohort study was conducted with a purposive sampling of thirty-five patients who were diagnosed with degenerative cervical diseases and consented to surgery. The outcomes were assessed using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey Quality of Life Scale (SF-36), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ9), Pain
