About

The reasons for anxiety before laparoscopic cholecystectomy include the operation of the surgery process, its therapeutic effect, lack of information about the postoperative period and lack of communication. The increase in the preoperative anxiety level in patients undergoing surgical intervention negatively affects the patients' sleep, recovery and quality of life, length of hospital stay is prolonged, cost increases in hospitals, and socioeconomic losses occur in individuals and institutions. Therefore, this study will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of video-based training given by an operating room nurse to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy on preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain and recovery quality.

Considering possible sample loss, it was decided to include 72 patients, 36 in the intervention group and 36 in the control group. One of the patients included in both the intervention and control groups was excluded from the study because he was converted to open cholecystectomy during surgery and was taken to intensive care postoperatively. The study was completed with a total of 70 patients, 35 in the intervention group and 35 in the control group.

Patient Information Form, Surgical Anxiety Scale, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Recovery Quality Scale-15 will be used to collect data.

Full description

A total of 2 patients, 1 patients in the experimental and 1 patients in the control groups, were excluded from the study because they were converted from laparoscopic surgery to open surgery.The study was completed with 70 patients (35 experimental and 35 control) who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and met the inclusion criteria.

---

70 participants in 2 patient groups

Intervention group

Experimental group

Description:

A video containing information about the operating room environment and intraoperative care will be watched. The patients who watch the video will be questioned again about the points they do not understand, the issues they are curious about about the perioperative period, and the information they want to learn, and this information will be given verbally by the researchers.

Treatment:

Procedure: video based education

Control Group

No Intervention group

Description:

Patients in this group will not be shown any videos and will continue to receive care according to their clinical routine.They will be asked to answer the questions in the patient introduction form the day before the surgical intervention. The surgical anxiety scale will be filled in when patients come from the ward to the preoperative waiting room on the day of surgery. Finally, patients will be asked to answer the questions on VAS and Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) in the patient room at the 24th hour after surgery.
