It is planned to examine the effects of local music on pain and comfort levels in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery and to make a comparison between Turkey and Iran with the results obtained.
The hypotheses of the study are as follows:
H1-0: Music has no effect on reducing pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
H1-1: Music has an effect on reducing pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
H2-0: Music has no effect on increasing comfort in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
H2-1: Music has an effect on increasing comfort in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
As part of the pre-test, the patient introduction form, comfort and pain scales will be applied to the experimental group patients. Music will be played in the patient room 2 hours after the patients are transferred from the post-operative care unit to the clinic, which is the most appropriate time after surgery, when vital signs are stable and clinical compliance is achieved. Music will be played for 20 minutes. As part of the post-test, the comfort and pain scales will be applied to the experimental group patients again.
As part of the pre-test, the patient introduction form, comfort and pain scales will be applied to the control group patients. No intervention will be applied to the control group patients and the clinic's routine practices will continue. As part of the post-test, the comfort and pain scales will be applied to the control group patients again.
