Brief summary
The Quality of Recovery 15-questionnaire (QoR-15) is used to assess postoperative quality of recovery after surgery and anesthesia from the patient's perspective. It evaluates five dimensions including pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional state. The aim of this study is to validate a Ukrainian version of the QoR-15 scale (QoR-15Ukr) to measure postoperative recovery in Ukrainian-speaking patients.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Construct validity of QoR-15Ukr | Preoperative and 24 hour postoperative | Correlation between the QoR-15 (0-150) and the following variables: * type of surgery (minor/major), duration of surgery * type of anaesthesia * numerical rating scale (0 to 10) for severity of postoperative pain * post-operative ICU stay * postoperative opioid consumption. |
| Convergent validity of QoR-15Ukr | Preoperative and 24 hour postoperative | Correlation between the QoR-15 (0-150) and the following variables: \- numerical rating scale (0-10) for overall quality of postoperative recovery, |
| Responsiveness of QOR-15Ukr | Preoperative and 24 hour postoperative. | Cohen's d effect size. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Reliability of QOR-15Ukr | Preoperative and 24 hour postoperative | Compare the two QoR-15 results measured at 60 minutes intervals using an intraclass correlation coefficient (test-retest reliability), and calculate the Cronbach alpha to investigate the internal consistency. |
| Feasibility of QoR-15Ukr | Preoperative and 24 hour postoperative | Time needed to fill in the questionnaire and the rate of completion will be evaluated. |
