Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Although it changes with age, due to its high incidence and prevalence, inguinal hernia is one of the most commonly performed surgeries by general surgeons. Pain, anxiety and changes in comfort levels in patients after inguinal hernia repair surgery negatively affect the patient's recovery after surgery. One of the goals of nursing care practices in the perioperative period, especially in patients undergoing surgery, is to provide and maintain patient comfort. Today, the concept of comfort is a part of quality nursing care, allowing patients to be comfortable, carefree, recover more quickly and cope better with disease stress. Using non-pharmacological methods in pain management reduces the use of pharmacological methods, increases the patient's comfort level, reduces stress and anxiety, increases the individual's sense of control over their own health and increases physical function and daily life activities. Virtual reality, music therapy, stress ball are used in various areas of clinical medical care as a way to distract attention and relieve pain.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

music group

The patient will be asked to choose their favorite music. The playlist will include ten songs from each music group (pop, Turkish classical music, local folk songs and religious music), for a total of 50 songs. The options will be shown to the patient via the phone (Apple/ MU783TU/A) and the music they want will be added to the playlist. The selected music will be listened to for 15 minutes before the surgery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Music intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

The patient will be asked to choose their favorite music.

The selected music will be listened to for 15 minutes before the surgery.

stres ball

Intervention Type OTHER

Stress balls will be given to the patient in both palms, they will be asked to count from one to five and squeeze twice. The patient will be shown and made to use the stress balls for 15 minutes before the surgery. When the 15 minutes are up, the patient will be informed by the nurse and the patient will be asked to release the balls.

Virtual Reality Glasses

Intervention Type OTHER

The patient will be shown a video of a nature walk by the nurse providing nursing care to the patient. The patients will be shown a video with virtual reality glasses for 15 minutes before the surgery.
