Summary

This study looked at whether a short talk with a mental health professional before surgery could help living kidney donors feel calmer, have more stable vital signs during surgery, and experience less pain afterward. Researchers measured anxiety levels, pain scores, and oxygen levels in 123 donors. The goal was to see if this simple support could improve the donor's experience and recovery.
