Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of guided imagery applied before cesarean section on preoperative anxiety, fear and physiological parameters.
The study will be carried out in two different groups. The practice will start with meeting the women 3 days before cesarean section. After the women are evaluated in terms of eligibility criteria for the research, the women who are eligible will be informed about the research and written informed consent will be obtained from the women who accept. The random distribution of women to the study groups will be carried out random. The following applications will be made to the groups.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in anxiety
Time Frame: Three days before the cesarean section, Fifteen minutes after preparation for cesarean section
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-S consist of 20 items with four points likert scales, each (not at all, somewhat, moderately so, very much so). Scores thus range between 20, indicating a low level of anxiety and 80, indicating a high level.
Change in Surgical Fear
Time Frame: Three days before the cesarean section, Fifteen minutes after preparation for cesarean section
Surgical Fear Questionnaire has been developed to determine the level of fear of patients who will undergo electrical surgery for the short and long -term results of surgical operation. The scale is a scales of 11 Likertes, which consist of 8 items, scored between 0-10. Each item 0 is scored as "I'm at all scared", 10 "I'm very scared". The total score of the scale is 0-80. The high score states that surgical fear is high.
Secondary Outcomes
- heart rate(Fifteen minutes after preparation for cesarean section)
- respiratory rate(Fifteen minutes after preparation for cesarean section)
- body temperature(Fifteen minutes after preparation for cesarean section)
- fetal heart rate(Fifteen minutes after preparation for cesarean section)
- systolic and diastolic blood pressure(Fifteen minutes after preparation for cesarean section)
