Official title

The Effect of Pain Education Given to Patients Before Total Knee and Hip Replacement Surgery on Anxiety, Pain and Analgesic Use: A Randomized Controlled Study

Overview

This randomized controlled trial evaluates whether a standardized preoperative pain education session delivered by a nurse reduces postoperative pain intensity and surgical anxiety among adult elective orthopedic surgery patients compared with usual care. Primary outcome is postoperative pain at 24 hours. Secondary outcomes include anxiety, analgesic consumption, patient satisfaction, and length of stay

Detailed description

Adult patients scheduled for elective orthopedic surgery will be randomized (1:1) to receive either (a) a structured 20-30-minute preoperative pain education session plus booklet and video, or (b) usual care alone. Pain intensity measured with NRS at 1, 6,12, 24, 48h postop; analgesics recorded Day 0, 1, 2; preop anxiety measured with Surgical Anxiety Scale in both groups. Intention-to-treat analysis.

Interventions

  • Other Pain education
    education booklet and video

Primary outcome measures

  • Is there a difference in postoperative pain levels between the intervention group, which received preoperative pain education, and the control group, which did not receive preoperative pain education?" [Time frame: Pain assessment was evaluated at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively.]
  • Does preoperative pain education reduce preoperative anxiety? [Time frame: Baseline (preoperatively, before surgery) and postoperatively at 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after surgery.]
