About this trial
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effect of Teach-Back-supported discharge education on self-care agency, pain intensity, and comfort levels in patients undergoing surgery for pilonidal sinus disease. A total of 68 participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group will receive discharge education using the Teach-Back method, while the control group will receive routine discharge education and standard care. Self-care agency, pain intensity, and comfort levels will be assessed at baseline and on the tenth day after discharge.

Teach-Back-Supported Discharge Education
BehavioralParticipants will receive individualized discharge education using the Teach-Back method. The education will cover wound care, personal hygiene, pain management, sitting and mobility, activities of daily living, bowel elimination, signs of complications, and situations requiring medical consultation. Participants will be asked to explain the information in their own words. Any misunderstood or incomplete information will be clarified and reassessed until correct understanding is demonstrated.
Routine Discharge Education
BehavioralParticipants will receive the hospital's routine discharge education and standard postoperative care. No additional education using the Teach-Back method will be provided by the researchers.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change in Self-Care Agency Score
Self-care agency will be assessed using the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale. The scale consists of 35 items scored from 0 to 4, with a total score ranging from 0 to 140. Higher scores indicate greater self-care agency. The change in scores from baseline to the tenth day after discharge will be compared between the intervention and control groups.
Time frame
Baseline and 10 days after discharge2
Change in General Comfort Score
General comfort will be assessed using the General Comfort Questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 48 items evaluating physical, psychospiritual, sociocultural, and environmental dimensions of comfort. Higher scores indicate a higher level of comfort. The change in scores from baseline to the tenth day after discharge will be compared between the intervention and control groups.
Time frame
Baseline and 10 days after dischargeSecondary outcomes
1
Change in Pain Intensity
Pain intensity will be assessed using a 10-centimeter Visual Analog Scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity. The change in pain scores from baseline to the tenth day after discharge will be compared between the intervention and control groups.
