Pain severity, headache duration, adherence to conservative treatment recommendations, and hospital re-presentation were assessed during the first five days after discharge.

Interventions
Standard Information and Standard Telephone Follow-up
Routine verbal information regarding spinal anesthesia, possible complications, and post-discharge precautions was provided before and after surgery. Standard telephone follow-up was conducted on days 1 through 5 after discharge to assess postdural puncture headache, pain severity, associated symptoms, and adherence to conservative treatment recommendations.
Brochure-Supported Structured Telemedicine Counseling
A visual information brochure entitled "Five Golden Points After Spinal Anesthesia" was introduced within the first 12 postoperative hours. During structured telephone consultations on days 1 through 5 after discharge, the brochure content was reinforced, conservative treatment recommendations were repeated, patient questions were answered, and guidance regarding warning symptoms and appropriate healthcare use was provided.
