Brief summary

The objective of this prospective observational cohort study is to evaluate the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the Turkish version of the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15T) scale in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. While the QoR-15T has been validated for general surgery in Turkey, its performance remains to be established in high-risk cardiac surgery populations involving cardiopulmonary bypass and intensive care stays.Approximately 150 patients at Kocaeli City Hospital will be enrolled. The study will compare the patients' QoR-15T scores-recorded preoperatively and on the 7th postoperative day-with the Global Recovery Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to determine construct validity.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Postoperative Quality of Recovery Score (QoR-15T)	Postoperative Day 7 (or discharge day if earlier)	The Turkish version of the 15-item Quality of Recovery scale (QoR-15T). Each item is scored 0-10. Total score ranges from 0 to 150

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Global Recovery Visual Analog Scale (VAS)	Postoperative Day 7	A self-reported scale where patients rate their overall recovery on a line from 0 to 100 (0 = poor recovery, 100 = excellent recovery). This will be used to assess the construct validity of the QoR-15T
