VR Discharge Education After TURP

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of virtual reality-assisted discharge education on readiness for hospital discharge among patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Patients were randomly assigned to either a virtual reality-based education group or a control group receiving standard discharge education. The intervention provided immersive and interactive learning experiences to enhance patients' understanding of post-discharge care. Readiness for hospital discharge was assessed using a validated scale. It is anticipated that patients receiving virtual reality-based education will demonstrate higher levels of readiness compared to those receiving standard education. The findings may support the integration of innovative educational technologies into postoperative patient education to improve discharge outcomes.
