Brief Summary

Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of video-assisted preoperative education on postoperative physiological parameters and recovery outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study compares a video-based education program with brochure-based education covering pain and nausea-vomiting management, nutrition, early mobilization, fluid intake, wound care, bathing, and follow-up instructions in adults scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a public state hospital in Türkiye.

Conditions

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy; Patient Education

Keywords

Video-assisted education; patient education; defecation; self-care; postoperative recovery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Defecation Occurrence

  Proportion of participants who report at least one bowel movement by the follow-up day, recorded via the standardized patient assessment form. Higher proportions indicate faster gastrointestinal recovery. Groups compared: Video-Assisted Education vs. Usual Care

  Postoperative day 5-7 (follow-up)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (Yes/No)

  At hospital discharge (postoperative day 0-1).

Other Outcomes (2)

• Bathing With Family Assistance (Yes/No)

  Postoperative day 5-7 (follow-up)

• Pain Intensity

  At hospital discharge (postoperative day 0-1).

Study Arms (2)

Video-Assisted Education

EXPERIMENTAL

Single-session video-assisted patient education in addition to routine postoperative instructions

Behavioral: Video-Assisted Patient Education

Usual Care

NO INTERVENTION

Routine postoperative discharge education without the video component.

Interventions

Video-Assisted Patient Education BEHAVIORAL

Single-session video-assisted patient education delivered before hospital discharge after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A standardized 10-15-minute video (shown on a tablet/TV by a nurse) covers postoperative care: pain control/analgesic use, early mobilization, wound care, diet/fluids, warning signs, and follow-up. Participants also receive routine discharge instructions; the video is an adjunct unique to this arm and is not provided to the control group.
