Summary

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of verbal and video-based preoperative education on anxiety levels and serum cortisol response in women scheduled for elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia.

Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard verbal education or a standardized video-based educational intervention before surgery. Anxiety levels will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S), and serum cortisol levels will be measured before and after the educational intervention.

The primary objective is to compare the effectiveness of the two educational methods in reducing preoperative anxiety and physiological stress response.

Conditions

  • Preoperative Anxiety
  • Cesarean Delivery
  • Stress Response

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Video-Based Preoperative Education

Participants will watch a standardized preoperative educational video providing information about cesarean delivery, spinal anesthesia, the perioperative process, potential risks and complications, postoperative expectations, and recovery. The video is designed to improve patient understanding and reduce preoperative anxiety.

BEHAVIORAL

Verbal Preoperative Education

Participants will receive standard face-to-face verbal preoperative education from an anesthesiologist regarding cesarean delivery, spinal anesthesia, the perioperative process, potential risks and complications, postoperative expectations, and recovery.
