Effect of Video Training on Patients' Self-Efficacy After Colorectal Surgery

Effect of Video Training on Patients' Self-Efficacy After Colorectal Surgery

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of virtual reality video training on the self-efficacy of patients after colorectal surgery. Thus, correct planning can be provided for trainings that will provide information to patients according to their needs during the nursing care process.

Does virtual reality video training have an effect on participants' perceptions of self-efficacy after colorectal surgery? The researchers will conduct the self-efficacy survey on another group of participants without repeating the training to see the impact of the training.

Participants in the experimental group will receive training on the second postoperative day and they will apply a self-efficacy survey on the tenth day after discharge.

Participants in the control group will not receive training on the second postoperative day. They will complete a self-efficacy survey on the tenth day after discharge.

The data obtained in the study will be evaluated in a computer environment using the IBM SPSS Version 22.0 package program. The conformity of the data to normal distribution will be assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and if the p value is p<0.05, Skewness and Kurtosis values will be examined. Descriptive statistics will be applied to sociodemographic variables. For intergroup comparisons of pre-test and post-test measurements of the experimental and control groups according to dependent variables, the significance test for the difference between two independent means will be used; for non-parametric data, the Mann Whitney U test will be used. For comparisons of pre-test and post-test measurements within the experimental and control groups according to dependent variables, the t-test for dependent groups will be used; for non-parametric data, the Wilcoxon test will be used. The results will be evaluated at a 95% confidence interval and a significance level of p<0.05.
