Abstract

Objective: The Quality of Recovery-15 questionnaire is a self-rated questionnaire used to assess the quality of the postoperative recovery and health status of patients in the early period following surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the Turkish version of the Quality of Recovery-15.

Methods: After approval by the Maltepe University local ethics committee, this observational study was conducted among patients who received surgical interventions at Mersin University Hospital between July 2019 and January 2020. Reliability, feasibility, and validity were assessed to validate the Turkish version of the Quality of Recovery-15.

Results: The completion rate of the form was determined to be 92% and a total of 200 patients were enrolled in the study. The Cronbach's alpha of the global Turkish version of the Quality of Recovery-15 was 0.927. Test-retest reliability was 0.84 [CI 95%: 0.75-0.90] and Cohen's effect size was 0.319. The total standardized response mean was determined as 0.53.

Conclusions: This is the first study in which the Quality of Recovery-15 scale was translated into Turkish with our knowledge. The Turkish version of the Quality of Recovery-15 showed satisfactory reliability and validity in evaluating the quality of recovery after surgery in the Turkish population.
