About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effect of Patient Preferred Music on Postoperative Anxiety

In this study, it is planned to compare the effect of listening to the music preferred by the patient and classical music on postoperative anxiety.

Read the detailed description

Preoperative anxiety can be detected via structured and standardized screening by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) I and II. 225 patients scheduled for inguinal hernia surgery for any reason in the age range of 18-70 will be included in our study. Preoperative STAI I and II score (anxiety questionnaire) will be applied to each patient. The patients will be divided into three groups as preoperative patient preferential music, classical music and not played. The patient favorite music track and singer without limiting the kind of music or classical music will be played through the headphones. The STAI will be repeated at postoperative, the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and patient satisfaction will be measured at postoperative.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) score

    The test scores between 20 and 80, with higher scores indicating more generalized and stronger anxiety. Preoperative and postoperative STAI I score questions will be asked.

    Measured: 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)

    11-point numerical rating scale for pain (0='no pain' and 10='worst pain possible pain') were explained.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. The quality of postoperative functional recovery (QoR-40) score

    The quality of postoperative functional recovery will assess using the QoR-40, which assesses physical comfort (12 items), emotional state (9 items), physical independence (5 items), psychological support (7 items), and pain (7 items). Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale: none of the time, some of the time, usually, most of the time, and all the time. The total score ranges from 40 (poorest quality of recovery) to 200 (the best quality of recovery). The QoR-40 will administer one day before surgery in outpatient clinics of anesthesiology, and before discharge from hospital on the first postoperative day.

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Patient satisfaction score

    Patient satisfaction will assess prior to discharge using a Likert scale type (range, 1 to 7) verbally administered questionnaire

    Measured: 24 hours
