About this study
Official title: Effects of Education Given to Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery Patients With Mobile Application on Anxiety, Fear of Surgery, Pain, Analgesic Consumption, Length of Hospital Stay, Complication Development, Readmission and Hospitalization
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the education to be given with a mobile application to be developed for RIRC patients on preoperative anxiety, fear of surgery, postoperative pain level, analgesic consumption, length of hospital stay, development of complications in the first month, readmission and number of hospitalizations. The study was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled trial. The study will be conducted with 68 patients in the urology clinic of a university hospital. Patients will be randomly assigned to the control group and the mobile application training group.. Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Analgesic Consumption Monitoring Form, State Anxiety Scale, Surgical Fear Scale and Patient Monitoring Form will be used to collect the data. "Introductory Information Form", 'State Anxiety Scale', and 'Surgical Fear Scale' will be applied to all patients before surgical intervention. "State Anxiety Scale" and 'Surgical Fear Scale' will be administered both before and at the end of the trainings in the preoperative period. Trainings and preoperative scales to be completed will be carried out when the patient is admitted to the clinic for surgery. The group to be trained with the mobile application will be introduced to the application and the application will be downloaded to their phones, tablets or computers. Then, the questions of the patients regarding the mobile application will be answered. Patients in the control group will receive routine information in the clinic. After the surgical intervention, "VAS" and "Analgesic Consumption Monitoring Form" will be applied to all patients. The pain of the patients will be evaluated with VAS when they come to the postoperative room, at the 6th postoperative hour and at the 12th postoperative hour. The amount of analgesia consumed by the patients within 24 hours postoperatively will be recorded in the Analgesia Consumption Form. The duration of hospital stay will be recorded on the "Patient Follow-up Form" on the day of discharge. Patients who underwent RIRC will be called by the investigators one month later and their complication development status, hospitalization/ rehospitalization status will be learned and recorded in the "Patient Follow-up Form".

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain score
Visual Analog Scale: It is a scale that provides a subjective assessment of pain on a horizontal or vertical line from 0 (no pain at all)-10 (very severe pain) to evaluate the level of pain (Wewers and Lowe, 1990).
Measured: 8 months
Analgesic Consumption
Analgesic Consumption Monitoring Form : In this form, the analgesics consumed by the patients in the first 24 hours after surgical intervention and their amounts will be recorded.
Measured: 8 months
Anxiety
Description: The State Anxiety Scale : In this study, the DAQ, which is structured to measure momentary feelings, was used. Its Turkish validity and reliability was conducted by Öner and Le Compte in 1983. The DAQ consists of 20 questions on a four-point Likert scale. The statements in the DAQ are evaluated as not at all (1), a little (2), a lot (3) and completely (4). In this section, the statements are divided into direct and reversed statements. Inverted statements: 1st, 2nd, 5th, 5th, 8th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 15th, 16th, 19th, 20th items. The total score of the reversed statements is subtracted from the total score of the direct statements and the number 50, which is the invariant value of the DAQ, is added to the value obtained and the DAQ score is calculated. The scale score ranges between 20-80 and an increase in the score indicates an increase in the level of anxiety.
Measured: 8 months
Surgical Fear
Surgical Fear Scale: The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Bağdigen and Karaman Özlü in 2018. The questionnaire, which consists of eight items, has an 11-point Likert structure ranging from 0 (I am not afraid at all) to 10 (I am very afraid). The questionnaire has two subscales indicating the fear of short-term and long-term consequences of surgery. The subscale score is obtained by summing the scores of the four items in the subscales of the questionnaire. The total score of the questionnaire will be obtained by summing the scores of the two subscales, with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 80. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.89, 0.86 for the short-term outcomes sub-dimension and 0.87 for the long-term outcomes (Bağdiven \& Karaman Özlü, 2016).
Measured: 8 months

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the education to be given with a mobile application to be developed for RIRC patients on preoperative anxiety, fear of surgery, postoperative pain level, analgesic consumption, length of hospital stay, development of complications in the first month, readmission and number of hospitalizations. The study was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled trial. The study will be conducted with 68 patients in the urology clinic of a university hospital. Patients will be randomly assigned to the control group and the mobile application training group.. Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Analgesic Consumption Monitoring Form, State Anxiety Scale, Surgical Fear Scale and Patient Monitoring Form will be used to collect the data. "Introductory Information Form", 'State Anxiety Scale', and 'Surgical Fear Scale' will be applied to all patients before surgical intervention. "State Anxiety Scale" and 'Surgical Fear Scale' will be administered both before and at the end of the trainings in the preoperative period. Trainings and preoperative scales to be completed will be carried out when the patient is admitted to the clinic for surgery. The group to be trained with the mobile application will be introduced to the application and the application will be downloaded to their phones, tablets or computers. Then, the questions of the patients regarding the mobile application will be answered. Patients in the control group will receive routine information in the clinic. After the surgical intervention, "VAS" and "Analgesic Consumption Monitoring Form" will be applied to all patients. The pain of the patients will be evaluated with VAS when they come to the postoperative room, at the 6th postoperative hour and at the 12th postoperative hour. The amount of analgesia consumed by the patients within 24 hours postoperatively will be recorded in the Analgesia Consumption Form. The duration of hospital stay will be recorded on the "Patient Follow-up Form" on the day of discharge. Patients who underwent RIRC will be called by the investigators one month later and their complication development status, hospitalization/ rehospitalization status will be learned and recorded in the "Patient Follow-up Form".

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
