Abstract

The provision of comprehensive care that addresses social and psychological aspects is increasingly recognized as crucial for optimizing patient outcomes during hospitalization. This abstract explores the importance of social and psychological care in the pre-hospitalization phase and throughout the hospital stay. Before admission, interventions such as counseling, social support networks and education can mitigate anxiety, enhance coping mechanisms, and improve patient readiness for medical procedures. During hospitalization, strategies including patient-centered communication, psychological support services, and family involvement play pivotal roles in promoting emotional resilience and facilitating recovery. Integrating these approaches into clinical practice not only improves patient satisfaction but also contributes to better clinical outcomes and reduces healthcare costs. This review examines current practices and highlights the significance of social and psychological care in fostering a supportive healthcare environment that meets the holistic needs of patients.
