Summary

Total knee arthroplasty surgery is a common surgical procedure used in the treatment of patients in the end stages of osteoarthritis. Arthroplasty surgery is a process that creates physical and psychological stress on the patient. Preoperative education can reduce anxiety and improve postoperative outcomes. In the studies on education in the literature, it is seen that there are trainings in the form of seminars, trainings made with video recordings, trainings in the form of brochures. Studies in the literature have shown that training given synchronously (live) by a healthcare professional is more effective in reducing anxiety in one-on-one or small-person groups. Less anxiety does not significantly reduce pain levels, but improves patients' ability to cope with pain and increases their perception of preparedness. Together, these two factors can improve patients' overall experience by increasing their sense of control and comfort.
