Observational exposure
Observational exposure: This is an observational validation study in which postoperative recovery questionnaires are administered to children aged 2 to 17 years, or to their parents or caregivers when appropriate, after elective surgery under general anesthesia. The study aims to evaluate postoperative recovery and assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Pediatric Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale. No intervention is assigned by the study protocol.
Study summary
This multicenter prospective observational study aims to culturally adapt the Pediatric Quality of Recovery Scale into Turkish and to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version in pediatric surgical patients. Children aged 2 to 17 years undergoing elective outpatient or inpatient surgery under general anesthesia will be included. Postoperative recovery will be assessed using the Turkish version of the Pediatric Quality of Recovery Scale and a 0 to 100 millimeter visual analog scale, with age-appropriate child self-report or parent-proxy report.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Construct validity of the Turkish version of the Pediatric Quality of Recovery Scale — Within the first 24 postoperative hours Comparative Fit Index (CFI) from confirmatory factor analysis of responses to the Turkish PEDSQoR collected within the first 24 postoperative hours. A CFI value above 0.95 in the CFA supports that the proposed factor structure of the Turkish PEDSQoR shows a good fit to the data.
