The Effect of AI Training on Arthroscopy Outcomes

Summary

This study is planned to determine the effects of AI-assisted regional training on surgical anxiety, fear, postoperative pain, and comfort levels in patients undergoing arthroscopy. It will be designed as a prospective, observational, and intervention-based clinical trial. Necessary ethical and institutional permissions will be obtained before the start of the research. Ethical Approvals and Permissions were obtained from the Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University Ethics Committee, Niğde Provincial Health Directorate, and Ömer Halisdemir Training and Research Hospital. The participants are adult patients undergoing arthroscopy surgery. Informed consent will be obtained for participation in the study. Intervention: AI-assisted regional training will be applied before arthroscopy. Data Collection Tools: Pre-Assessment Form, Personal Information Form, Surgical Fear Scale, Surgical Anxiety Scale for Adult Patients, Postpartum Comfort Scale, and Perianesthesia Comfort Scale will be used. Data Analysis: Data will be evaluated using the IBM SPSS Statistics 24 software package. Appropriate statistical analysis methods will be used.

Conditions

• Arthroscopy
• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Surgical Anxiety
• Surgical Fear
• Postoperative Pain
• Patient Comfort

Interventions

OTHER

Artificial Intelligence-Based Education

Artificial Intelligence-Based Education (Experimental): Participants will attend an AI-assisted training program prior to arthroscopy. The training will be delivered digitally, covering the stages of the surgical procedure, anxiety and fear management techniques, and comfort-enhancing information. This intervention, unlike nurse training and the control group, is administered through a technological platform.

OTHER

Nurse-Led Education

Nurse-Led Education (Active Comparator): Participants will attend a standard face-to-face training program given by a nurse prior to arthroscopy. The training will cover the explanation of the surgical procedure, methods for coping with anxiety and fear, and post-operative care. This intervention, unlike the AI-based training, is administered directly by a healthcare professional.

OTHER

Routine Information (Control)

Control (Control Arm): Participants will not receive any special training prior to arthroscopy; only a routine information process will be applied. This group will be used for comparison with AI and nurs
