Validation of the Greek Postoperative Quality of Recovery Score 15

Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Greek Version of the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Score 15 (QoR-15Gr)

The goal of this observational study is to translate a patient questionnaire about recovery after an operation into Greek and assess how accurate, reliable, acceptable, and feasible this Greek version is.

This study aims to culturally adapt and validate a Greek version of the Quality of Recovery - 15 (QoR-15), referred to as the QoR-15Gr, for Greek-speaking surgical patients. The investigators hypothesize that the QoR-15Gr will demonstrate psychometric properties comparable to the original English version.
