简要总结
Objective: This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the impact of guided imagery exercises on surgical fear and perioperative comfort in patients undergoing Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP).
Background: Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) remains the gold standard surgical treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Despite its efficacy, a significant majority of patients (60-80%) experience substantial surgical fear, which can negatively affect their recovery and perioperative comfort. Guided imagery is a non-pharmacological, cognitive-behavioral technique that utilizes mental visualization to activate the mind-body connection, reduce sympathetic activity, and promote relaxation.
Methods: Grounded in Kolcaba's Comfort Theory, this study investigates the relationship between guided imagery and the multi-dimensional aspects of patient comfort (physical, psycho-spiritual, environmental, and socio-cultural). The intervention group will receive structured guided imagery sessions designed to reduce physiological stress responses and enhance emotional regulation, while the control group will receive standard care.

时间窗: Preoperative period, postoperative days 1 and 2.
The scale was developed by Burton et al. in 2018. The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Topçu et al. (2023). The scale has four sub-dimensions: health-related anxieties (items 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13), recovery-related anxieties (items 14, 15, 16, and 17), surgical procedure-related anxieties (items 1, 2, 4, and 8), and invasive procedure-related anxieties (items 3, 5, and 6). The items are scored as follows: 0 = "I am not anxious at all", 1 = "I am slightly anxious", 2 = "I am somewhat anxious", 3 = "I am very anxious", and 4 = "I am extremely anxious". The scale contains a total of 17 items. There are no reversed items in the scale. Total and subscale total scores are calculated by summing the total scores of the items they contain. The lowest possible score on the scale is 0 and the highest is 68. The scale has no cutoff point, and higher scores indicate higher levels of anxiety in patients.
