The Effect of Education Given to Patients on Pre- & Post-operative Anxiety

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The data of the randomized controlled experimental research were collected at Atatürk University Health Application and Research Hospital Urology Clinics between November 2021 and May 2022. The study sample consisted of 122 patients (61 in the training group, 61 in the control group) who were selected by the simple random sampling method and met the research inclusion criteria.

Clinical Trial Description

Ureteroscopy (URS) is an up-to-date method that is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of ureteral diseases. Apart from the diagnostic purposes of URS, the most common use is to intervene in ureteral stones. The vast majority of ureteral stones are treated endoscopically. A Double-J (DJ) stent is often placed after ureteroscopy. The purpose of the stent is to prevent obstruction, renal colic, and deterioration of renal function. The fact that the DJ stent will remain in the patient for a certain period of time (approximately 3-4 weeks) causes anxiety in the patient. However, approximately 80% of patients with DJ stent implantation have urinary system symptoms that impair their quality of life. Frequent urination (50-60%), sudden urge to urinate (57-60%), pain on urination (40%), incomplete evacuation (76%), flank pain (19-32%), suprapubic pain (30%) , incontinence and hematuria (25%) are the symptoms seen. Patients with DJ stent implanted after ureteroscopy surgery need more information, support, explanation and help to cope with the effects of these symptoms in the clinic and at home. In this context, it is important to provide an individualized and comprehensive education that includes the home care process before and after the URS. It has been determined in the literature that training before surgery reduces anxiety, pain level, complication and depression rates, and increases patient satisfaction in the postoperative period. No study has been found in the literature examining the effects of education given to patients with URS on their post-operative anxiety and readiness for discharge. In this context, this study will provide evidence-based data to the literature by investigating the effects of training given to patients with URS and DJ stent implantation on pre- and postoperative anxiety and readiness for discharge. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
