Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Humor-Based Video InterventionRoutine Preoperative Care and Education

Humor-Based Video Intervention: A single approximately 20-minute humor-based video intervention administered during the preoperative period to patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The video contains humorous and entertaining content designed to divert attention from surgery-related stress, reduce preoperative anxiety and negative affect, and enhance positive affect. The intervention is provided in addition to routine preoperative care and education.

Routine Preoperative Care and Education: Routine preoperative care and education provided according to the standard clinical practice of the general surgery clinic for patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This includes usual preoperative information and education provided to patients as part of standard care. No humor-based video intervention is provided to participants in this group.

Study summary

This study aims to evaluate whether watching a short humor-based video before surgery can reduce anxiety and negative emotions and increase positive emotions in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal surgery). The study will also examine whether this intervention affects patients' quality of recovery after surgery.

Patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be randomly assigned to either a humor-based video intervention group or a control group. In addition to routine preoperative care and education, patients in the intervention group will watch an approximately 20-minute humor-based video before surgery. Patients in the control group will receive routine preoperative care and education without the humor-based video.

Anxiety, positive and negative emotions, and postoperative quality of recovery will be assessed using standardized questionnaires. The study will compare these outcomes between the two groups to determine whether the humor-based video provides beneficial effects during the perioperative period.
