Preoperative anxiety can be detected via structured and standardized screening by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) I and II. 80 patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty surgery for 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 two groups as listening patient preferential music, and control. The patient favorite music track and singer without limiting the kind of music or classical music will be played through the headphones.Secondary aim is to assess the effect of listening patient preferred music on Quality of recovery, postoperative pain, MCID (minimal clinically important diffirence), patient and surgeon satisfaction.

Being tested
Patient preferential music, No Music

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: Preoperative 1st hour and Postoperative 4th hour

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)

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

    Measured: Postoperative 4th, 12th and 24th hours

  2. The quality of postoperative functional recovery (QoR-15) score

    The patient-reported Turkish QoR-15 score includes 15 questions that evaluate the patient's postoperative recovery. The QoR-15 score is grouped under two groups, A and B. A high QoR-15 score, a score between 0 (poor) and 10 (excellent) for each item, and a total score of 150 indicate better quality of recovery.

    Measured: Preoperative 1st hour and Postoperative 24th hour

  3. Patient satisfaction score

    Patients were asked about their satisfaction levels with a number between 0-10.

    Measured: Postoperative 24th hour

  4. MCID of STAI score

    Calculation of the MCID of the STAI score

    Measured: 24 hour

  5. MCID of QoR-15 score

    Calculation of the MCID of the QoR-15 score

    Measured: 24 hour
