Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Postoperative Recovery; Quality of Recovery From Anaesthesia; PROMs; Validation Study; Cultural Adaptation

• Registration Number: NCT06699823
• Lead Sponsor: IASO Thessalias

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to translate a patient questionnaire about recovery after an operation into Greek and assess how accurate, reliable, acceptable, and feasible this Greek version is.

Detailed Description

This study aims to culturally adapt and validate a Greek version of the Quality of Recovery - 15 (QoR-15), referred to as the QoR-15Gr, for Greek-speaking surgical patients. The investigators hypothesize that the QoR-15Gr will demonstrate psychometric properties comparable to the original English version.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Translation and cultural adaptation of the Greek version of the postoperative quality of recovery score 15 (QoR-15Gr)	From enrollment until 20 first patient have been enrolled	The QoR-15 consists of 15 questions and the patients are asked to rate various aspects of their postoperative recovery from 0 to 10. Minimum score is 0 and corresponds to the worst score. Maximum score is 150 and corresponds to optimal recovery.; Translation into Greek and pilot test will be performed.
Psychometric properties of postoperative quality of recovery 15 (QoR-15Gr) will be assessed by evaluating validity (convergent, construct, and discriminant), reliability (internal consistency and repeatability), and responsiveness.	From enrollment until 150 patients have been enrolled
Acceptability and feasibility of the postoperative quality of recovery 15 (QoR-15Gr) will be assessed by measuring patient recruitment rate as well as successful recruitment rate.	From enrollment until 150 patients have been enrolled
