Summary

This randomized controlled trial describes the design and conduct of ERAS-based preoperative education in patients with colorectal cancer undergoing colorectal surgery. The study is conducted in the general surgery clinics of Izmir City Hospital. Eligible patients are randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving structured preoperative ERAS-based education supported by an educational booklet or a control group receiving standard preoperative care routinely provided in the clinic.

Postoperative recovery outcomes are predefined in the study protocol. The primary outcome is postoperative recovery on the first postoperative day, measured using the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) questionnaire. Secondary outcomes include postoperative hospital length of stay, total length of hospital stay, reoperation during hospitalization, and 30-day readmission related to postoperative complications.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

ERAS-Based Preoperative Education

A structured, individualized preoperative education session based on ERAS recommendations for colorectal surgery. The education includes information on preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative practices. It is delivered by the researcher in a single 20-minute session within 48 hours before surgery (excluding the last 24 hours) and supported with a written educational booklet.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Preoperative Education

Routine preoperative education provided by the ward nurse as part of the hospital's standard surgical preparation process. This education reflects usual care and does not include ERAS-based content or additional materials.
