An interventional study of Operating Room Orientation Video Education and Routine Preoperative Information in Benign Prostate Hypertrophy(BPH), sponsored by Ondokuz Mayıs University. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to male participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-16.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of operating room orientation video education delivered at different time points on postoperative pain and state anxiety in patients undergoing surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate or holmium laser enucleation of the prostate will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: video education one day before surgery in the surgical ward, video education approximately 30 minutes before surgery in the operating room waiting unit, or routine preoperative information. Pain and state anxiety will be assessed at predefined preoperative and postoperative time points.
The study will evaluate whether the timing of operating room orientation video education influences postoperative pain and state anxiety in patients undergoing surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The intervention consists of a 5-minute video designed to familiarize patients with the perioperative environment and expected procedures. The video includes information about the operating room environment, the operating table, patient positioning, information related to the surgical process, the post-anesthesia care unit, and patient transfer.
Participants will be randomly allocated in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of three parallel groups. Participants in the first intervention group will receive the video approximately one day before surgery in the surgical ward. Participants in the second intervention group will receive the same video approximately 30 minutes before surgery in the operating room waiting unit. Participants in the control group will receive routine preoperative information according to standard clinical practice.
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale, and state anxiety will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety Scale. Assessments will be performed one day before surgery, before the intervention in the operating room waiting unit, and six hours after surgery in the surgical ward.

Participants will receive a 5-minute operating room orientation video approximately one day before surgery in the surgical ward.
Behavioral: Operating Room Orientation Video Education
Participants will receive the same 5-minute operating room orientation video approximately 30 minutes before surgery in the operating room waiting unit.
Behavioral: Operating Room Orientation Video Education
Participants will receive routine preoperative information according to standard clinical practice without the study-specific operating room orientation video.
Behavioral: Routine Preoperative Information
A 5-minute video-based educational intervention designed to familiarize patients with the operating room environment and the perioperative process. The video includes information about the operating room environment, operating table, patient positioning, information related to the surgical process, the post-anesthesia care unit, and patient transfer.
Participants will receive routine preoperative information according to standard clinical practice without the study-specific operating room orientation video.
Postoperative state anxiety
State anxiety will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety Scale (STAI-S), based on the Turkish adaptation by Necla Öner and Ayhan Le Compte. The scale consists of 20 items and yields a total score ranging from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater state anxiety and therefore a worse outcome. State anxiety will be assessed one day before surgery in the surgical ward, before video education in the operating room waiting unit, and 6 hours after surgery in the surgical ward. The primary postoperative outcome will be the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety Scale score measured 6 hours after surgery.
Time frame: From baseline to 6 hours after surgery
Postoperative pain intensity
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The scale ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity and therefore a worse outcome. Pain intensity will be assessed one day before surgery in the surgical ward, before video education in the operating room waiting unit, and 6 hours after surgery in the surgical ward. The primary postoperative outcome will be the Visual Analog Scale score measured 6 hours after surgery.
Time frame: From baseline to 6 hours after surgery
Plan to share: No — Individual participant data will not be publicly shared to protect participant confidentiality and privacy. Aggregated study results will be reported in the master's thesis and subsequent scientific publications.

Start is estimated for Oct 2026; primary completion for Mar 2027, 5 months later.
Of 152 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Prostatic Hyperplasia, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 48. This study's planned 5 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 203 studies reached it within 26 months; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 48.
