In patients undergoing rotator cuff tear repair surgery, there is a correlation between poor psychological function before surgery and worsening of post-intervention outcomes, such as persistence of postoperative pain intensity and worse levels of function/disability. There is a need to address these poor responses prior to and after surgery to improve outcomes. Psychological skills training is a component of psychologically informed practice, which encompasses managing emotions, building confidence, goal-setting, enhancing motivation, and addressing injury-related fear. It is unknown if psychological skills training is a feasible and acceptable way to address these unfavorable responses after rotator cuff repair surgery. Prior to conducting large clinical trials assessing the efficacy of psychological skills training interventions, a proof of concept study is needed to determine if patients find psychological skills training as feasible, acceptable, and appropriate during their recovery from rotator cuff repair surgery.
