Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
H1: Patients who use motivation cards during mobilization after open prostate surgery have lower pain levels than those who do not. H2: Patients who used motivation cards for mobilization after open prostate surgery had a higher number of steps than those who did not use them. After the surgery, patients were asked to walk with a pedometer. A mobilization motivation card was used in the study group.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The patients were visited by the researcher in their rooms on the morning of the day they were scheduled for surgery, and the purpose of the study was explained to the patients. Verbal and written consent was obtained from those who agreed to participate in the study, and it was explained to the patients that they would be visited again at their bedsides the day after surgery.
The Visual Pain Scale was created to assess the severity of pain. A score of '0' at the left end of the line indicates no pain, and a score of '10' at the right end indicates unbearable pain. In this study, patients were asked to mark the severity of the pain they were experiencing on a scale. The research nurse visited the patient in the service rooms before they were transferred to the operating room to make the first assessment in the study group, and the purpose of the study was explained to the patient. Patient introduction form, pedometer and mobilization motivation card were introduced to the patient. The patient was informed that they would be visited at 10:00 a.m. on the first day after the surgery to mobilize the patient. On the morning of the first day after surgery, the patient's pain status was determined with the Visual Pain Scale. The patient's vital signs were checked and the pedometer was placed on the lumbar region. The patient was mobilized according to the mobilization stage. The number of steps after the first mobilization was recorded on the mobilization motivation card and the card was hung at the bedside. The researcher nurse was informed that he would be visited again in 1 hour and these stages were repeated 3 times.
In the control group, the first evaluation was made by the researcher nurse. Patient introduction form, pedometer were introduced to the patient. On the morning of the first day after surgery, the patient's pain status was determined with the Visual Pain Scale. The patient's vital signs were checked and the pedometer was placed on the lumbar region. The patient was mobilized according to the mobilization stage. The number of steps after the first mobilization was recorded on the mobilization motivation card but was not given to the patient. The researcher nurse informed that he would be visited again in 1 hour and these stages were repeated 3 times.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental: Experimental (with Card)
In this procedure, patients used a pedometer and mobilization motivation card during their mobilization on the first postoperative day.
Mobilization Motivation Card
On the morning of the surgery, the Mobilization Motivation Card and Pedometer will be introduced and the patient will be informed. On the morning of the first postoperative day, before the patient's first mobilization, pain assessment will be made with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the Mobilization Motivation Card will be hung at the bedside during the day and will help increase the patient's participation in mobilization. Later, after a pedometer is attached to the patient's waist, the patient will be mobilized.
No Intervention: Standard (No Card)
In this procedure, patients used a pedometer during their mobilization on the first postoperative day. They did not use a mobilization motivation card.
