Summary

This study looks at whether post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in surgeons and anesthesiologists is linked to higher rates of complications in the patients they operate on. Researchers will screen surgical staff for PTSD using questionnaires and then track the recovery of their patients. The goal is to understand if the mental health of the surgical team might influence patient safety.
