What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the validity of the Turkish version of the Perception of Quality in Anesthesia (PQA) scale, which measures patient satisfaction with anesthesia services. Patients scheduled for elective inguinal or umbilical hernia surgery will complete a 16-question survey 24 hours post-surgery, either through in-person visits or phone calls. The study focuses on ensuring that the survey is culturally and linguistically appropriate for Turkish-speaking patients.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are Turkish-speaking adults aged 18 to 80 scheduled for elective hernia surgery under general or regional anesthesia.
Not a fit: Patients undergoing emergency surgery, requiring intensive care, or with mental disabilities or pregnancy will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the assessment of anesthesia quality and improve patient satisfaction in Turkey.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have successfully validated patient satisfaction surveys in different languages, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
