What this trial studies

This study evaluates the impact of a personalized and secure internet platform that provides preoperative medical information, including an explanatory video about thyroid surgery, on patients' anxiety levels before surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving standard information or an experimental group with access to the additional online resources. The goal is to determine if this enhanced access to information can reduce preoperative anxiety among patients undergoing thyroid surgery.
