Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Simulation-based education has increasingly been used in healthcare education to enhance understanding, reduce uncertainty, and improve preparedness by allowing individuals to actively engage with the anticipated care process. While its effectiveness has been well documented in student education, evidence regarding its use in preoperative patient education, particularly in orthopedic surgery, is limited.
This randomized controlled trial aims to examine the effect of simulation-based preoperative education on surgical fear and kinesiophobia in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty. Eligible patients are randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving simulation-based preoperative education or a control group receiving standard verbal preoperative education according to institutional routine practice. The educational intervention is delivered one day prior to surgery.
Data are collected using validated instruments, including the Surgical Fear Questionnaire, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, and the Visual Analog Scale for pain assessment. Surgical fear is assessed during the preoperative period, while kinesiophobia and postoperative pain are evaluated following surgery during the early mobilization phase.
The results of this study are expected to provide evidence to inform nursing-led preoperative education strategies and to support the development of patient-centered approaches aimed at improving psychological preparedness and postoperative recovery in individuals undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
