Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

(State Trait Anxiety Inventory I-II)

Time Frame: 24 hour

STAI I determines how an individual feels at a specific moment and under specific conditions. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI II) determines how individuals generally feel in their current situation and conditions. Inventory items are scored between 1 and 4. High scores on the inventory indicate that the person has high levels of state and trait anxiety. Scores between 0 and 19 on the inventory indicate no anxiety, 20-39 points indicate mild anxiety, 40-59 points indicate moderate anxiety, and 60-80 points indicate severe anxiety.

The Preparedness for Colorectal Cancer Surgery Questionnaire (PCSQ)

Time Frame: 24 hour

The scale determines whether the verbal and written information provided about the surgery prepares individuals for the surgery. The scale is a 4-point Likert scale ranging from positive to negative. The scale consists of a total of 24 items. The score that can be obtained from the scale ranges from 0 to 96. Item 24 on the scale is reverse-scored. The scale is evaluated by calculating the total score of the items. High scores indicate a high level of readiness.

Recovery Quality-40 Survey (QoR-40)

Time Frame: 24 hour

The scale consists of a total of 40 items. It comprises five subscales: emotional state, physical comfort, patient support, physical independence, and pain. The scale is a 5-point Likert scale, and items are scored on a scale of 1 to 5. Subscale averages are obtained by summing the scores for each subscale, and the total survey score is obtained by summing all items. A higher score indicates that patients' physical and emotional well-being is at the expected level (good condition) post-surgery. A low score indicates that the patient's well-being post-surgery has been negatively affected.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Cortisol Level(24 hour)
  • Number of Steps(24 hour)
