Conditions
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of simulation-based preoperative education on surgical fear and kinesiophobia in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Eligible patients are randomly assigned to either a simulation-based education group or a standard verbal education (control) group. Surgical fear, kinesiophobia, and postoperative pain are assessed using validated measurement tools. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to evidence-based nursing practices by informing the development of effective preoperative education strategies to improve postoperative recovery outcomes.
