Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)	The research period for a participant takes approximately 30 minute	State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was designed to identify individuals' persistent anxiety and the level of anxiety felt towards the situation they are in. A total score between 20 and 80 can be obtained from both scales. Measuring ranges; 20-39 points are considered mild, 40-59 points are considered moderate, 60-79 points are considered severe anxiety, and 80 points are considered panic.
Patient's Perception of Nursing Care Scale	The research period for a participant takes approximately 30 minute	The Anxiety Inventory was designed to identify individuals' constant anxiety and the level of anxiety they feel about their current situation. A minimum of 15 and a maximum of 75 points can be obtained from the scale. An increase in the total score obtained from the scale indicates that the patient is satisfied with the nursing care.
