This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of video-assisted early mobilization education on postoperative recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. As part of the intervention, structured and professionally produced educational videos will be used to explain the physiological benefits of early mobilization in the preoperative period and to demonstrate step-by-step mobilization techniques in the postoperative period.
Patients in the intervention group will receive video-assisted mobilization education in addition to standard postoperative care, while patients in the control group will receive standard care alone. Physical activity levels will be objectively monitored using wearable activity tracking devices during the first 24 hours after surgery.
The study will assess the effects of video-assisted early mobilization education on postoperative physiological stress response, pain, nausea and vomiting, blood glucose levels, mobilization performance, gastrointestinal recovery, length of hospital stay, and patient satisfaction. In addition, postoperative complications, emergency department visits, and hospital readmissions within 30-days after surgery will be evaluated as exploratory outcomes.
