Summary

This observational cross-sectional study aims to compare early postoperative functional capacity and kinesiophobia in patients undergoing thoracic surgery via thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Patients aged 18-75 years who underwent thoracic surgery and agreed to participate will be evaluated during the early postoperative period, after chest tube removal and before hospital discharge.

Functional capacity will be assessed using the 1-minute sit-to-stand test. Kinesiophobia will be evaluated using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia. Pain, dyspnea, fatigue, and coronavirus-related anxiety will also be assessed using validated scales and questionnaires. The study will investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and postoperative functional and symptom-related outcomes.
