About this trial
This prospective observational study will evaluate whether adherence to enhanced recovery after cesarean delivery protocols is associated with postoperative recovery quality in women undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. A total of 150 participants will be enrolled. Recovery quality will be assessed using the Turkish version of the Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 questionnaire at 24 hours after surgery. Pain, opioid use, nausea, mobilization, oral intake, breastfeeding, and patient satisfaction will also be evaluated.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 Score
Postoperative recovery quality will be assessed using the Turkish version of the Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 questionnaire. Total scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better recovery.
Secondary outcomes
Enhanced Recovery Protocol Compliance
Overall compliance with enhanced recovery protocol components will be calculated as the percentage of completed preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative components.
Postoperative Pain Intensity
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale, ranging from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.
Rescue Opioid Requirement
The number of participants requiring rescue opioid medication after cesarean delivery will be recorded.
Total Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale Score
The overall Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale score will be calculated. Scores range from 6 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety and information needs.
