Summary

This study looked at whether showing patients a short educational video before bariatric (weight-loss) surgery could lower their fear and help them recover more smoothly. 51 adults who were about to have the surgery took part. One group watched the video, while the other group received standard care. Researchers measured fear levels and recovery quality using questionnaires. The goal was to see if a simple video could make the surgical experience less stressful.
