Effect of Video Training on Patients' Self-Efficacy After Colorectal Surgery

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Postoperative management: The patients who agreed to participate in the study will be asked to fill out a "Patient Introduction Form" by the researchers after obtaining permission from the experimental group with the "Informed Consent Form" the day before the surgery. On the 2nd day after laparoscopic colorectal surgery, virtual reality glasses will be worn by the patients and they will watch a 10-minute training video on the care of the patient after colorectal surgery. The training content will consist of topics such as dressing the surgical area, signs of infection in the surgical area (redness, swelling, discharge, color, temperature increase), pain management, unexpected situations (fever, nausea, abdominal pain, shivering, chan)

Study summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of virtual reality video training on the self-efficacy of patients after colorectal surgery. Thus, correct planning can be provided for trainings that will provide information to patients according to their needs during the nursing care process.

Does virtual reality video training have an effect on participants' perceptions of self-efficacy after colorectal surgery? The researchers will conduct the self-efficacy survey on another group of participants without repeating the training to see the impact of the training.

Participants in the experimental group will receive training on the second postoperative day and they will apply a self-efficacy survey on the tenth day after discharge.

Participants in the control group will not receive training on the second postoperative day. They will complete a self-efficacy survey on the tenth day after discharge.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Self-Efficacy Scale in Colorectal Cancer Surgery — one week after registration up to 3 months
  This 16-question scale is scored using a Likert scale ranging from "not at all sure" to "very sure" (0-10). Questions include the ability to detect changes in the wound site (edema, redness, discharge, pain, discoloration, and increased temperature), timely medication use, dressing, seeking medical attention, regulating diet, detecting urinary changes, maintaining social relationships, and avoiding strenuous exercise. A higher score indicates an increase in self-efficacy.
