Registered outcomes2
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in Preoperative Surgical Fear Assessed Using the Surgical Fear Questionnaire | Baseline (upon hospital admission and before the intervention) and immediately before surgery (after the intervention and before transfer to the operating room). | Preoperative surgical fear will be assessed using the Surgical Fear Questionnaire (SFQ). The SFQ consists of eight items scored from 0 (not at all afraid) to 10 (very afraid). The total score ranges from 0 to 80 points. It includes two subscales: fear of the short-term consequences of surgery (items 1-4; score range: 0-40) and fear of the long-term consequences of surgery (items 5-8; score range: 0-40). Higher total and subscale scores indicate greater surgical fear and therefore a worse outcome. Change in surgical fear will be determined by comparing baseline and immediate preoperative scores. |
| Primary | Change in Preoperative State Anxiety Assessed Using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Scale | Baseline (upon hospital admission and before the intervention) and immediately before surgery (after the intervention and before transfer to the operating room). | Preoperative state anxiety will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Scale (STAI-S). The STAI-S consists of 20 items rated on a four-point scale. The total score ranges from 20 to 80 points. Higher scores indicate greater state anxiety and therefore a worse outcome. Change in state anxiety will be determined by comparing baseline and immediate preoperative scores. |
