The Quality of Recovery 15-questionnaire (QoR-15) is used to assess postoperative quality of recovery after surgery and anesthesia from the patient's perspective. It evaluates five dimensions including pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional state. The aim of this study is to validate a Ukrainian version of the QoR-15 scale (QoR-15Ukr) to measure postoperative recovery in Ukrainian-speaking patients.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
200
A 15-item questionnaire covering different aspects of recovery after surgery.
Construct validity of QoR-15Ukr
Correlation between the QoR-15 (0-150) and the following variables: * type of surgery (minor/major), duration of surgery * type of anaesthesia * numerical rating scale (0 to 10) for severity of postoperative pain * post-operative ICU stay * postoperative opioid consumption.
Time frame: Preoperative and 24 hour postoperative
Convergent validity of QoR-15Ukr
Correlation between the QoR-15 (0-150) and the following variables: \- numerical rating scale (0-10) for overall quality of postoperative recovery,
Time frame: Preoperative and 24 hour postoperative
Responsiveness of QOR-15Ukr
Cohen's d effect size.
Time frame: Preoperative and 24 hour postoperative.
Reliability of QOR-15Ukr
Compare the two QoR-15 results measured at 60 minutes intervals using an intraclass correlation coefficient (test-retest reliability), and calculate the Cronbach alpha to investigate the internal consistency.
Time frame: Preoperative and 24 hour postoperative
Feasibility of QoR-15Ukr
Time needed to fill in the questionnaire and the rate of completion will be evaluated.
Time frame: Preoperative and 24 hour postoperative
