What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating whether exposure to a sensory modulation room before surgery can affect pain, anxiety, and sleep in adult living kidney donors and recipients undergoing elective transplantation. This study explores how sensory activities might reduce preoperative stress and improve postoperative recovery, addressing the need for non-drug nursing approaches to manage surgical stress. The trial compares the effects of sensory modulation with standard preoperative care in this patient group. Participants are assigned to either a sensory modulation session group or a control group receiving standard care. The sensory session lasts 15 to 20 minutes in a specially designed room featuring dim lighting, nature videos, relaxing music, and tactile objects like stress balls and grounding mats. The session follows a structured sequence including orientation, visual and auditory stimulation, and free sensory exploration, all provided by a trained researcher. The control group receives routine preoperative care without structured sensory intervention. During the study, participants complete questionnaires covering demographics, sensory processing, anxiety, insomnia, and pain. Researchers monitor postoperative outcomes on day 3, focusing on pain, anxiety, and sleep quality. Both groups undergo the same assessments at identical time points. The study plans to enroll 40 participants, equally divided between donors and recipients, with data analyzed to understand how sensory profiles influence the intervention's effectiveness.
