Operating Room Orientation Video Education in Patients Undergoing Prostate Surgery

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Operating Room Orientation Video Education: A 5-minute video-based educational intervention designed to familiarize patients with the operating room environment and the perioperative process. The video includes information about the operating room environment, operating table, patient positioning, information related to the surgical process, the post-anesthesia care unit, and patient transfer.

Routine Preoperative Information: Participants will receive routine preoperative information according to standard clinical practice without the study-specific operating room orientation video.

Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of operating room orientation video education delivered at different time points on postoperative pain and state anxiety in patients undergoing surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate or holmium laser enucleation of the prostate will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: video education one day before surgery in the surgical ward, video education approximately 30 minutes before surgery in the operating room waiting unit, or routine preoperative information. Pain and state anxiety will be assessed at predefined preoperative and postoperative time points.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Postoperative state anxiety — From baseline to 6 hours after surgery
  State anxiety will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety Scale (STAI-S), based on the Turkish adaptation by Necla Öner and Ayhan Le Compte. The scale consists of 20 items and yields a total score ranging from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater state anxiety and therefore a worse outcome. State anxiety will be assessed one day before surgery in the surgical ward, before video education in the operating room waiting unit, and 6 hours after surgery in the surgical ward. The primary postoperative outcome will be the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety Scale score measured 6 hours after surgery.
• Postoperative pain intensity — From baseline to 6 hours after surgery
  Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The scale ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity and therefore a worse outcome. Pain intensity will be assessed one day before surgery in the surgical ward, before video education in the operating room waiting unit, and 6 hours after surgery in the surgical ward. The primary postoperative outcome will be the Visual Analog Scale score measured 6 hours after surgery.
