An interventional study of Video education and Control Group in Bariatric Surgery, sponsored by Bursa Sevket Yilmaz Training and Research Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 18 Years to 53 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-03.
Sponsored by Bursa Sevket Yilmaz Training and Research Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
The goal of this randomised clinical study is to is to determine the effect of video education given before bariatric surgery procedure on surgical fear and recovery. The main questions it aims to answer [is/are]:
Video training reduces patients' fear of surgery. Video training improves the quality of recovery for patients.
There is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the effect of the given video training to see if it has an impact on surgical fear levels and quality of recovery.
In video group (Experiment group), patients will watch a video prepared by researchers before their surgery.
Bursa Sevket Yilmaz Training and Research Hospital is the lead sponsor of 6 studies on the registry; 5 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Video education group: In addition to routine care, patients received a researcher-developed video-based education program two days before surgery via WhatsApp or email. The video (5-10 minutes) included information on the perioperative process, nutrition, and postoperative care, supported by visual and audio narration to enhance understanding. Adherence was confirmed via telephone contact one day before surgery. Baseline assessments, outcome measures, and follow-up procedures were identical to those in the control group.
Other: Video education
Control Arm (Routine Care): Baseline data, including sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, were collected preoperatively. Surgical fear was assessed at 3 and 1 days prior to surgery. All patients received routine verbal preoperative education three days before surgery, covering general information about bariatric surgery, the perioperative process, and postoperative care. Postoperative outcomes included recovery quality (QoR-15 on postoperative days 1 and 7), pain intensity (VAS on postoperative days 1, 3, and 7), daily pain recording after analgesic administration, additional analgesic use, and satisfaction with education (postoperative day 7). Patients received standard perioperative clinical follow-up.
Other: Control Group
A preoperative information video specific to bariatric surgery has been prepared.
Standart care
Surgical fear
It was used to determine the levels of fear in patients before surgery.
Time frame: Patients completed the surgical fear scale twice: once two days before the surgery and once one day before.
Quality of recovery
Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15): This scale evaluates five areas-emotional status, physical comfort, psychological support, physical independence, and pain-to assess patients' postoperative surgical recovery.
Time frame: Patients' quality of recovery was assessed twice, on day 1 and day 7 post-surgery.
Pain
Visual analog scale: It was used to measure the postoperative pain levels of patients.
Time frame: Patients' pain scores were recorded by the patients themselves a total of 3 times, on days 1, 3, and 7 postoperatively, in the mornings before taking analgesics.
Plan to share: Yes
