Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study was conducted with 135 patients, 72 in the experimental group and 63 in the control group. The website https://www.randomlists.com/random-letters was used during the randomization of the patients. The patients were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups according to their sequence numbers.
For the standardization of patient education, an education booklet was prepared in line with the literature, and the final version was prepared by consulting experts. The experimental group was educated by visits of the operating room nurse. The control group was educated by the service nurse. Data were collected with state-trait anxiety inventory and visual analog scale.
Visual analog scale (VAS)- The scale, which is used to evaluate the pain intensity, aims to explain the patient's pain in numbers. The scale requires the patient to score the pain as the absence of pain starting from 0 (zero) and unbearable pain to be evaluated over 10 (ten) points Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - Anxiety inventory was developed by Spielberg et al. in 1970 and adapted into Turkish by Oner and Le Compte in 1977. This inventory is a four-degree Likert type scale ranging from "Almost never" to "Almost always". In the state anxiety scale, the individual evaluates how he/she feels "right now". The total score obtained from each scale varies between 20 and 80. A high score indicates a high anxiety level, a low score indicates a low anxiety level The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was applied before the patient education and the State Anxiety Inventory after the education. The pain was monitored in accordance with the surgical patient follow-up protocol for 24 hours postoperatively, and the State Anxiety Inventory was applied again 24 hours after surgery.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control-Service Nurse Group
Patient education lasting 20-30 minutes was provided by the nurse who gives care in the surgical inpatient floor before the surgery. The nurse provided the patient's admission to the postoperative surgical inpatient floor and follow-up.
Control-Service Nurse Group
Processing Steps
* The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was applied before the patient education
* The State Anxiety Inventory was applied after the education.
* The pain was monitored in accordance with the surgical patient follow-up protocol for 24 hours postoperatively
* The State Anxiety Inventory was applied again 24 hours after surgery.
Experimental-Nursing Visiting Group
The nursing visit was done by the operating room nurse who will be involved in the patient's surgery, and the patient education lasted 20-30 minutes. The nurse, who carried out the nursing visit, welcomed the patient in the operating room, was next to the patient before anesthesia, and followed the patient to the recovery room after surgery.
Nursing Visiting Group
Processing Steps
