Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A patient introduction form and a state anxiety scale will be applied as a pre-test before transplant surgery, and vital signs will be checked. Patients will be shown 10-minute Turkish comedy films prepared by researchers before transplant surgery. After the intervention, vital signs will be checked as a post-test and a state anxiety scale will be applied. A quiet and calm environment will be provided in the patient room while patients are shown the comedy films.
Control Group:
A patient introduction form and a state anxiety scale will be applied as a pre-test before transplant surgery, and vital signs will be checked. No intervention will be made to the control group patients outside of the clinical protocol. After a certain waiting period (average of 30 minutes), the patients' vital signs will be checked and the state anxiety scale will be applied again.
