Abstrakt: •What is the primary question addressed by this study?The question addressed by the study must limited to only one sentence. What factors influence the perioperative care experiences of Black surgical patients with mental health problems and how can these insights inform the design and implementation requirements for a culturally adapted perioperative mental health intervention.•What is the main finding of this study?The finding must be limited to two sentences. Patients reported that their psychological well-being and long-term mental health outcomes were not appropriately considered during perioperative care. Patients utilized several coping strategies, including talk therapy, faith/spirituality, and family and friends to address some of the perceived stressors including interpersonal and structural barriers to using mental healthcare services, clinician treatment biases and ageism in care, and lack of healthcare professional connections/resources.•What is the meaning of the finding?The meaning of the finding must be limited to one sentence. Our findings demonstrated a need for a patient-centered and culturally adapted intervention targeting the individual/behavioral, and interpersonal levels. Informed by the cultural adaptation framework, we propose a multi-component intervention that integrates psychological and pharmacological components.
