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.

Translation and cultural adaptation of the Greek version of the postoperative quality of recovery score 15 (QoR-15Gr)
The QoR-15 consists of 15 questions and the patients are asked to rate various aspects of their postoperative recovery from 0 to 10. Minimum score is 0 and corresponds to the worst score. Maximum score is 150 and corresponds to optimal recovery. Translation into Greek and pilot test will be performed.
Time frame: From enrollment until 20 first patient have been enrolled
Psychometric properties of postoperative quality of recovery 15 (QoR-15Gr) will be assessed by evaluating validity (convergent, construct, and discriminant), reliability (internal consistency and repeatability), and responsiveness.
Time frame: From enrollment until 150 patients have been enrolled
Acceptability and feasibility of the postoperative quality of recovery 15 (QoR-15Gr) will be assessed by measuring patient recruitment rate as well as successful recruitment rate.
Time frame: From enrollment until 150 patients have been enrolled
