Brief Summary

Researchers aim to investigate whether individualized preoperative education for patients is beneficial in reducing perioperative anxiety, promoting postoperative recovery, and enhancing postoperative quality of life. The educational content will cover aspects such as the surgery procedure, anesthesia, postoperative pain and anxiety management, recovery time, and any potential required treatments. All participants will be administered a questionnaire before the surgery to evaluate their specific concerns and fears. The intervention group will receive preoperative education through audio-visual materials followed by targeted preoperative counseling, while the control group will receive routine preoperative education.
