Summary

Brief Summary

This randomized controlled study evaluated the effect of structured preoperative education on postoperative recovery outcomes in patients undergoing thoracic surgery for lung cancer. The study was conducted in a tertiary public hospital in Istanbul between June 2022 and December 2023 and included 100 adult patients who met the inclusion criteria. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group.

Patients in the intervention group received structured, nurse-led preoperative education supported by a standardized patient education booklet, while the control group received routine hospital care. Recovery outcomes were assessed using physiological parameters, pulmonary function tests, shoulder joint range of motion measurements, pain intensity scores, and the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) questionnaire during the early postoperative period.

The findings of this study aim to contribute evidence on the role of preoperative nursing education in improving functional recovery, reducing postoperative pain, and supporting respiratory function in patients undergoing thoracic surgery.
