This randomized clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) counseling compared to traditional verbal counseling for patients undergoing thoracic surgery. MAR counseling integrates patient-specific 3D anatomical models to enhance understanding of surgical procedures and risks. The study assesses patient and caregiver satisfaction, decision-making confidence, and communication quality. Health care providers' perspectives on the counseling methods are also examined. Participants will be assigned to one of the two counseling groups and asked to complete a questionnaire immediately after the counseling session.
