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.

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.
