- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Personal Information Form for 1 day The form prepared by the researchers contains a total of 8 questions containing the patients' introductory information.
surgical fear scale for 1 day There are 8 questions in the scale. The scale is an 11-point Likert type scale with a score between 0 and 10. The scale included two subscales related to the source of fear, each consisting of 4 items. While items 1 to 4 on the scale measure the fear of the short-term consequences of surgery, items 5 to 8 measure the fear of the long-term consequences of surgery (0: not at all afraid, 10: very afraid). An increase in the score indicates an increase in fear.
state anxiety scale for 1 day It consists of a total of 40 items and is scored from 1 to 4. Scale items are evaluated using the "Likert type" scaling method as "1 = not at all", "2 = a little", "3 = a lot", "4 = completely". A high score on the scale indicates a high level of anxiety; A low score indicates a low level of anxiety. In the validity and reliability study of the scale, the alpha value was found to be 0.91.
