Overview
Brief Summary
It is well-known that pre-operative education has a positive effect on patient recovery. This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of structured education given by a multidisciplinary team (surgeon, anesthesiologist, and nurse) on pain, anxiety, and activities of daily living in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Detailed Description
In this randomized controlled study was conducted with 60 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a training and research hospital in Turkey between March and August 2019. The participants were divided into two equal groups. Verbal structured education and written documents were given to the training group before surgery by a multidisciplinary team. The control group had the routine education. Data were collected using a Patient Information Form, the State Anxiety Inventory, a visual analog scale, and the Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The difference in pain scores measured by Visual Analog Scale between the two groups
Time Frame: The participants' pain levels were evaluated using the VAS at 06:00 AM on the first day of surgery.
This scale is a unidimensional, valid and reliable scale in the measurement of acute pain intensity. This scale, which is comprised horizontally or vertically, consists of a 10 cm scale, at one end there is "no pain", at the other end there is "worst imaginable pain," with which the patient scores their pain. As the score on the scale increases, the severity of pain intensity increases.
Secondary Outcomes
- The difference in independence levels measured by the Barthel Daily Living Activities Index between the two groups(The independence levels of the patients in both groups were evaluated using the Barthel Daily Living Activities Index on the 10th-day follow-up appointment.)
- The difference in anxiety scores measured by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory between the two groups(Anxiety levels were evaluated using the STAI-I just before discharge (postoperative 1st day).)
