QoR-15T in Cardiac Surgery

Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15T) Scale in Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Sponsor

Kocaeli City Hospital

Enrollment

150 participants

Start Date

May 18, 2026

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Patient Reported Outcome Measures Postoperative Recovery

Summary

The objective of this prospective observational cohort study is to evaluate the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the Turkish version of the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15T) scale in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. While the QoR-15T has been validated for general surgery in Turkey, its performance remains to be established in high-risk cardiac surgery populations involving cardiopulmonary bypass and intensive care stays.Approximately 150 patients at Kocaeli City Hospital will be enrolled. The study will compare the patients' QoR-15T scores-recorded preoperatively and on the 7th postoperative day-with the Global Recovery Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to determine construct validity.
