This prospective observational study investigates the impact of preoperative regional anesthesia on postoperative sleep quality in patients undergoing mastectomy. Sleep quality will be assessed using two validated tools: the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) for all participants, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in a subgroup. The study also examines the relationship between sleep quality and postoperative pain, patient satisfaction, and psychological status measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Patients will be grouped based on anesthesia technique-general anesthesia alone or general anesthesia combined with regional block-and sleep outcomes will be compared. The study aims to provide evidence on how anesthetic technique and psychological factors affect recovery and sleep quality after breast cancer surgery.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
66
Preoperative regional analgesic block performed as part of routine clinical care in selected patients undergoing mastectomy (e.g., PECS block, paravertebral block, or other truncal blocks).
Postoperative Sleep Quality Measured by RCSQ
Postoperative sleep quality will be assessed using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) on the first morning after surgery. The total score ranges from 0 (poor sleep) to 100 (excellent sleep). Comparison will be made between patients receiving general anesthesia alone and those receiving general anesthesia combined with regional block.
Time frame: Postoperative Day 1 (the morning after surgery)
