Conditions

Breast Cancer Mastectomy Artificial Intelligence (AI)Anxiety Patient Education as Topic

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI)-supported preoperative education on fear and anxiety levels in patients undergoing total mastectomy. It is a randomized controlled trial involving two groups: one receiving AI-supported education and the other receiving standard preoperative education. The primary outcomes are to assess changes in surgical fear and anxiety levels. The study targets adult female patients diagnosed with breast cancer who are scheduled for total mastectomy.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether an AI-assisted educational program helps patients better prepare for a mastectomy (surgical removal of the breast for breast cancer). The goal is to improve how well patients understand the procedure, reduce anxiety, and increase satisfaction with the information they receive before surgery. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman, 18 or older, who can read - You have been diagnosed with breast cancer - You are scheduled to have a total mastectomy - You agree to participate and provide written consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You cannot understand or communicate in Turkish - You have active psychiatric disorders (such as major depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia) - You have significant hearing or vision impairments - You have a mental disability that affects comprehension - You have participated in a similar education program before Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALAI-Supported Preoperative Education

This intervention involves the use of a pre-trained AI-powered education platform designed to provide preoperative information to patients undergoing mastectomy. The program delivers structured, interactive education that includes details about the surgical process, postoperative care, and emotional coping strategies. The pre-trained AI system offers standardized responses to patient questions, ensuring consistency and clarity in the information provided, with the goal of reducing fear and anxiety.

BEHAVIORALStandard Preoperative Education

This intervention consists of standard preoperative education provided by healthcare professionals. Patients receive general information about the surgical procedure, postoperative care, and strategies to manage fear and anxiety. The education is delivered in a traditional, face-to-face format without the use of AI or digital tools.
