Brief summary

This study focused on examining the effect of mobilization protocol assisted with simulated clinical immersion videos on postoperative pain, fear of movement, mobility level and satisfaction in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.

Detailed description

Background: The medical condition that creates the need for lumbar spine surgery causes pain and movement restriction in patients. Ensuring safe mobilization in patients with lumbar spine surgery is important for pain management and prevention of complications. Aim: In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of mobilization protocol assisted with simulated clinical immersion videos on postoperative pain, fear of movement, movement level and satisfaction. Study Design: The study was designed as interventional, pre-test, post-test, parallel group, single-blind, randomized, controlled and experimental. In the study, patients in the control group will be applied routine protocols, and patients in the intervention group will be trained on the day before surgery using the mobilization protocol assisted with simulated clinical immersion videos. In this study, the patients will be distributed to the groups by the block randomization method. Methods: In this study, pain, fear of movement, movement level and satisfaction will be recorded at the first postoperative mobilization and discharge.

Interventions

OTHERMobilization Protocol Assisted with Simulated Clinical Immersion Videos

Mobilization Protocol Assisted with Simulated Clinical Immersion Videos Simulated clinical immersion videos created for the mobilization protocol for patients in the intervention group will be sent to their smartphones once they are admitted to the clinic. The videos prepared within the scope of the mobilization protocol will be watched by patients in company with the researcher the day before the operation, their questions will be answered, and the correct mobilization techniques will be shown practically. It is expected that patients watch the videos at least four times, as twice with the researcher and twice by themselves.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Back and leg painChanges in hospitalization, first mobilization after surgery and the day of discharge. 1. Day of hospitalization (24 hours) 2. The first 24 hours after surgery 3. The day of discharge (24 hours)The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a straight horizontal line of 100 mm. One end describes no paint at all while the other describes an excessive amount of pain. VAS score is calculated by measuring in millimeters from the left end of the line to the point marked by the patient. VAS will be used to assess low back pain (VAS-BP) and right and left leg pain (VAS-LP) separately (Nayak, Coats, Abdullah, Stein, & Malhotra, 2015).
Fear of MovementChanges in hospitalization, first mobilization after surgery and the day of discharge. 1. Day of hospitalization (24 hours) 2. The first 24 hours after surgery 3. The day of discharge (24 hours)Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TKS): The TKS is used to assess the subjective degree of kinesiophobia or fear of movement, and consists of 17 items. The 4-point Likert-type scale ranges from 1 to 4 (1=Strongly disagree, 4=Completely agree). The overall score is calculated after reverse scoring the items 4, 8, 12 and 16. The overall scale score ranges between 17 and 68, and higher scores indicate higher level of kinesiophobia (Yılmaz et al., 2011).
Mobility LevelChanges in hospitalization, first mobilization after surgery and the day of discharge. 1. Day of hospitalization (24 hours) 2. The first 24 hours after surgery 3. The day of discharge (24 hours)Patient Mobility Scale: The level of pain and difficulty that patients experience doing four activities (turning from side to side in bed, sitting on the edge of the bed, sitting up at the side of the bed, walking in hospital room) during the postoperative period are assessed using a 15-cm visual analogue, throughout which verbal expressions are included. The lowest and highest possible scores obtained from each item ranges between 0 and 15, and the overall scale score ranges between 0 and 120. Higher scores indicate higher level of pain and difficulty (Ayoğlu, 2011).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient SatisfactionThe day of discharge (24 hours)Patients' satisfaction with the care they receive will be assessed using a Visual Analog Scale. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a straight horizontal line of 100 mm. One end describes not satisfied at all, while the other describes high level of satisfaction. VAS score is calculated by measuring in millimeters from the left end of the line to the point marked by the patient. Higher scores indicate higher level of satisfaction.
