Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Prehabilitation; Thoracoscopy
• Interventions: Other: Routine hospital care; Other: Educational nursing protocol

• Registration Number: NCT03915093
• Lead Sponsor: Assiut University

Brief Summary

video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a new approach used in cardio thoracic surgery department instead of thoracotomy to treat several diseases.patients underwent thoracoscopic surgery without organized educational protocol either before or after the procedure. Therefore, this study will be the first clinical research which will increase patients' knowledge about thoracoscopy and decrease its complications.

Detailed Description

The role of thoracic nursing specialty is to support and educate patients, who are suffering from thoracic diseases, to achieve the best outcome in terms of physical, psychological, social and spiritual well beings. The care provided not only focuses on in-hospital treatments that patient received, but also encompasses the whole patient journey including lifestyle modification, health concept promotion, self-empowerment and secondary prevention. Preoperative prophylactic physiotherapy has been shown to be an important and effective approach in preventing or reducing postoperative complications, in addition to optimizing treatment by familiarizing the patient with the physiotherapeutic procedures. Quasi experimental research design was utilized to conduct this study.Sixty adult patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery included and had the following criteria, the age ranged from 18-65 years old, both male and female. The patients divided into two equal groups (study and control groups), 30 patients for each. The study group received educational nursing protocol while the control group received the routine hospital care.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Effect of prehabilitation on quality of life after thoracoscopic surgery	after one month postoperative	WHOQOL developed by WHO (2004). It contains 5 broad domains of QOL within which 18 facets are covered to determine the quality of life. These 5 domains include physical, social, psychological, environmental and perceived QOL. Within each domain several sub domains (facets) of QOL Summarize that particular domain of QOL.The scoring of these variables, a 3-point lickert scale on tables was adopted for the answer low QOL=0-3, moderate QOL=4-6, and high QOL =7-9.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
effect of prehabilitation on duration of hospital stay after thoracoscopic surgery	immediate post operative	assess length of hospital stay postoperative for both groups
