Standardized Patient Education in Pituitary Surgery
The Impact of Standardized Patient Education on Patient Outcomes in Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery
Protocols are being developed and implemented to ensure the best possible recovery process for patients undergoing transsphenoidal surgery, and their impact on patient outcomes is being evaluated. In studies where perioperative protocols-including patient education (verbal and written instruction on dehydration, hyponatremia, adrenal insufficiency, CSF leakage, meningitis, and the signs and symptoms of visual or other neurological disorders)-are implemented, it has been reported that patients' length of hospital stay is reduced, the rate of patients experiencing hyponatremia has decreased, and readmissions have declined (Sanchez-Garavito et al., 2024; Sarris et al., 2021). However, since these studies included protocols covering the entire surgical process-not just patient education-it is difficult to determine whether changes in patient outcomes stem from patient education or from alterations in other parameters within the protocol.
Therefore, in the clinic where this study will be conducted, the effect of patient education on postoperative patient outcomes will be examined by developing an educational material that standardizes patient education, without making any changes to the surgical or pharmacological processes.

활성 비교기: Education group
The standardized educational material to be used with the training group was developed by the researchers through a literature review and includes evidence-based recommendations that patients should follow after pituitary surgery.
The educational material and the sources used to create it are included in the appendix.
Before providing education to patients in the intervention group, nurses and resident physicians working in neurosurgery will receive in-person training on the rationale and details of the material.
Patients will be included in the education program starting from their preoperative hospital admission; the content of the educational material will be explained by a nurse, and a visual copy will be provided to both the patient and their caregiver.
Additionally, the material will be posted in a clearly visible location in the patient's room.

간섭 없음: Control group
The control group for this study will consist of former patients who underwent pituitary surgery at the Neurosurgery Clinic prior to the start of this scientific study.
Routine post-operative care at the clinic following pituitary surgery is as follows: patients who have undergone pituitary surgery are provided with information about the surgical process by the attending physician prior to surgery, and their voluntary written consent is obtained.
After surgery, the physician, resident, and nurse provide verbal instructions to the patient regarding constipation and precautions related to the nose; however, no standardized written educational materials are used.
