What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the Turkish Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15T) scale to see how well it measures recovery in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. This study focuses on patients who have high-risk cardiac surgeries involving cardiopulmonary bypass and intensive care stays. Although the QoR-15T has been tested for general surgeries in Turkey, its accuracy and reliability in cardiac surgery patients need to be established. About 150 adult patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgeries like coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacement, or aortic surgery will be enrolled. The study is observational, meaning treatments and surgeries follow usual care without intervention by researchers. Patients will complete the QoR-15T questionnaire before surgery and again on the seventh day after surgery to assess their recovery. Participants will be asked to answer the QoR-15T questionnaire and the Global Recovery Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on postoperative day 7 or earlier if discharged. Researchers will compare these scores to evaluate the questionnaire's validity and reliability. The study will track patients through the first week after surgery, focusing on patient-reported recovery outcomes. The trial is sponsored by Kocaeli City Hospital and will run through October 2026.
