Primary outcomes

  1. Surgical fear

    Time frame: Patients completed the surgical fear scale twice: once two days before the surgery and once one day before.

    It was used to determine the levels of fear in patients before surgery.

  2. Quality of recovery

    Time frame: Patients' quality of recovery was assessed twice, on day 1 and day 7 post-surgery.

    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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pain

    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.

    Visual analog scale: It was used to measure the postoperative pain levels of patients.
