Plain-language summary
Brief Summary:
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of video-assisted preoperative education on postoperative physiological parameters and recovery outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study compares a video-based education program with brochure-based education covering pain and nausea-vomiting management, nutrition, early mobilization, fluid intake, wound care, bathing, and follow-up instructions in adults scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a public state hospital in Türkiye.

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.
1This trial looked at video-assisted education after laparoscopic gallbladder removal and measured bowel movements as a main outcome — can you explain why changes in bowel habits after this surgery are significant enough to study, and is this something I should expect to experience?
2Since this trial is now completed, has my care team seen or heard anything about what the results showed regarding whether video education actually helped patients manage bowel-related issues after laparoscopic cholecystectomy?
3The trial focused on patient education as part of recovery — what kind of education or discharge instructions would I receive after my own laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and is video-based guidance something your practice currently offers?
4Given that this study was categorized as 'not applicable' in terms of phase, meaning it wasn't testing a drug or device but rather an educational approach, does my doctor think improved pre- or post-operative education could meaningfully affect my recovery experience?
5Are there any changes in digestion or bowel function after laparoscopic cholecystectomy that I should be prepared for, and what does my doctor currently recommend to help manage those based on the best available evidence?

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.
