Teach-Back Discharge Education After Pilonidal Sinus Surgery

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.
