Summary

Hospitalization due to acute illness often leads to a decline in physical function and quality of life, which significantly impacts the emotional well-being of patients, their families, and primary caregivers. Emotional well-being is a critical aspect of overall health, enabling individuals to cope with and adapt to health challenges. Addressing this dimension within the hospital setting is vital to improving patient outcomes, particularly from a biopsychosocial perspective that considers physical, psychological, and social factors.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions in enhancing the emotional well-being of hospitalized patients. While early physiotherapy is well-documented for its benefits in preventing complications and improving physical recovery, there is limited research demonstrating its impact on emotional well-being. Furthermore, data on the effects of prolonged hospitalization on the biopsychosocial health of patients is lacking.

Conducted at the Hospital Universitario de la Princesa (Madrid, Spain), a high-complexity hospital, this project will assess the role of physiotherapy not only in physical recovery but also in fostering emotional support. The intervention is designed to provide both therapeutic and emotional benefits, incorporating moments of relaxation and leisure into the treatment sessions. The study aligns with the growing global trend towards person-centered care and the humanization of healthcare.

This approach emphasizes a more holistic and personalized patient experience, where physiotherapy contributes to the overall health and well-being of the patient, addressing their physical and emotional needs.
