Effects of Education Given to RIRS With Mobile Application on Anxiety, Fear of Surgery, Pain, Analgesic Consumption, Length of Hospital Stay, Complication Development, Readmission and Hospitalization

Sponsor: Tarsus University

Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the education to be given with a mobile application to be developed for RIRC patients on preoperative anxiety, fear of surgery, postoperative pain level, analgesic consumption, length of hospital stay, development of complications in the first month, readmission and number of hospitalizations. The study was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled trial. The study will be conducted with 68 patients in the urology clinic of a university hospital. Patients will be randomly assigned to the control group and the mobile application training group.. Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Analgesic Consumption Monitoring Form, State Anxiety Scale, Surgical Fear Scale and Patient Monitoring Form will be used to collect the data. "Introductory Information Form", 'State Anxiety Scale', and 'Surgical Fear Scale' will be applied to all patients before surgical intervention. "State Anxiety Scale" and 'Surgical Fear Scale' will be administered both before and at the end of the trainings in the preoperative period. Trainings and preoperative scales to be completed will be carried out when the patient is admitted to the clinic for surgery. The group to be trained with the mobile application will be introduced to the application and the application will be downloaded to their phones, tablets or computers. Then, the questions of the patients regarding the mobile application will be answered. Patients in the control group will receive routine information in the clinic. After the surgical intervention, "VAS" and "Analgesic Consumption Monitoring Form" will be applied to all patients. The pain of the patients will be evaluated with VAS when they come to the postoperative room, at the 6th postoperative hour and at the 12th postoperative hour. The amount of analgesia consumed by the patients within 24 hours postoperatively will be recorded in the Analgesia Consumption Form. The duration of hospital stay will be recorded on the "Patient Follow-up Form" on the day of discharge. Patients who underwent RIRC will be called by the investigators one month later and their complication development status, hospitalization/ rehospitalization status will be learned and recorded in the "Patient Follow-up Form".
