The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of training on surgical environments provided with virtual tour before orthopedic surgical ıntervention on patients' anxiety and satisfaction level.

Although preoperative anxiety is accepted as a normal patient response, severe anxiety can lead to a number of negative physiological, emotional and cognitive consequences for patients and ultimately to prolonged hospitalization. If anxiety is not managed effectively in the preoperative period, recovery time is prolonged and the risk of anesthesia and surgery-related complications increases. Moreover, it can lead to respiratory distress and cardiac problems. It causes life threats by increasing the risk of bleeding with deterioration in hemodynamic parameters and negatively affects surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction. For all these reasons, this study was designed to contribute to the management of anxiety, which is seen as a problem that needs to be addressed in surgical nursing.
