This systematic review aimed to assess the psychological outcomes in patients with complex hand trauma and explore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in addressing both physical and mental health needs. The study employed a rigorous methodology, including a comprehensive search of relevant databases, strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data synthesis from the included studies. The results demonstrated the significant negative psychological impact of complex hand trauma on patients' overall health and quality of life. This trauma affected patients emotionally, psychologically, and physically, highlighting the essential role of hand function in performing daily activities. The findings emphasize the need for continued research aimed at identifying effective psychological interventions to support the rehabilitation of patients with complex hand trauma. Providing these patients with multidisciplinary care, addressing both the physical and mental health components of recovery, can result in a more favorable long-term outcome.
