Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI): Pre-test and post-test differences of anxiety levels

  The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is accepted as the the gold standard to determine the level of anxiety. The validity and reliability of the STAI in Turkey was conducted by Oner and Le Compte. The STAI can be administered to individuals over the age of 14 and there is no time limit for answering. It includes two separate scales of twenty items each (ie, the State Anxiety Scale (STAI-S) and the Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI-T). STAI-S and STAI-T scores are calculated separately. The total score obtained from the scales varies between 20 and 80, and a high score indicates a high level of anxiety.

  From immediately before preoperative training to immediately after preoperative training (on the day before surgery).

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Satisfaction: Pre-test and post-test differences of satisfaction levels

  From immediately before preoperative training to immediately after preoperative training (on the day before surgery).
