Abstract
Preoperative anxiety and lower self-efficacy are often associated with poor surgical outcomes. Although preoperative counseling is considered to be an essential element of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), there is little evidence to indicate the application of formal behavioral therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). However, CBT can be an effective instrument in changing patient behavior toward their long-term health patterns and habits. Within prehabilitation, patient counseling to address their emotional needs and self-efficacy is an integral part to enhance compliance with multimodal interventions to improve their whole wellbeing prior to surgery. CBT should involve a collaborative approach that is problem-oriented and time-limited and that is directed toward recovery. This drives the effectiveness of CBT within ERAS.
