The Effect of Video-based Education on Anxiety, Pain and Recovery Quality in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Turkey (Türkiye)70 participantsStarted 2023-03-01

Plain-language summary

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.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
