Brief summary

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of The Effect of Preoperative Training with Virtual Reality on Anxiety, Readiness for Surgery and Recovery Process of Patients in Colorectal Cancer Surgery. Research Hypotheses In patients undergoing colorectal surgery: H1 The comfort level of patients who received preoperative training using virtual reality is higher than that of patients who received training using written brochures and the control group. H2. The anxiety level of patients who received preoperative education using the virtual reality method is lower than that of patients who received education via written brochures and the control group. H3 The satisfaction level of patients who received preoperative education using the virtual reality method is lower than that of patients who received education via written brochures and the control group.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
(State Trait Anxiety Inventory I-II)24 hourSTAI I determines how an individual feels at a specific moment and under specific conditions. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI II) determines how individuals generally feel in their current situation and conditions. Inventory items are scored between 1 and 4. High scores on the inventory indicate that the person has high levels of state and trait anxiety. Scores between 0 and 19 on the inventory indicate no anxiety, 20-39 points indicate mild anxiety, 40-59 points indicate moderate anxiety, and 60-80 points indicate severe anxiety.
The Preparedness for Colorectal Cancer Surgery Questionnaire (PCSQ)24 hourThe scale determines whether the verbal and written information provided about the surgery prepares individuals for the surgery. The scale is a 4-point Likert scale ranging from positive to negative. The scale consists of a total of 24 items. The score that can be obtained from the scale ranges from 0 to 96. Item 24 on the scale is reverse-scored. The scale is evaluated by calculating the total score of the items. High scores indicate a high level of readiness.
Recovery Quality-40 Survey (QoR-40)24 hourThe scale consists of a total of 40 items. It comprises five subscales: emotional state, physical comfort, patient support, physical independence, and pain. The scale is a 5-point Likert scale, and items are scored on a scale of 1 to 5. Subscale averages are obtained by summing the scores for each subscale, and the total survey score is obtained by summing all items. A higher score indicates that patients' physical and emotional well-being is at the expected level (good condition) post-surgery. A low score indicates that the patient's well-being post-surgery has been negatively affected.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cortisol Level24 hourCortisol, commonly known as the stress hormone, is essential for life. When stress occurs, cortisol levels increase. Cortisol is secreted by the adrenal cortex in response to various stimuli. It enables the organism to adapt to its environment. Cortisol helps the organism defend against dangers by enhancing its homeostasis ability. Cortisol levels were measured using saliva samples taken at specified times.
Number of Steps24 hourA pedometer wristband was used to monitor the patient's daily physical activities and determine the number of steps taken.
