Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Surgery; Pain, Postoperative

• Registration Number: NCT06820788
• Lead Sponsor: Bitlis Eren University

Brief Summary

It is planned to examine the effects of local music on pain and comfort levels in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery and to make a comparison between Turkey and Iran with the results obtained.

The hypotheses of the study are as follows:

H1-0: Music has no effect on reducing pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

H1-1: Music has an effect on reducing pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

H2-0: Music has no effect on increasing comfort in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

H2-1: Music has an effect on increasing comfort in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

Detailed Description

As part of the pre-test, the patient introduction form, comfort and pain scales will be applied to the experimental group patients. Music will be played in the patient room 2 hours after the patients are transferred from the post-operative care unit to the clinic, which is the most appropriate time after surgery, when vital signs are stable and clinical compliance is achieved. Music will be played for 20 minutes. As part of the post-test, the comfort and pain scales will be applied to the experimental group patients again.

As part of the pre-test, the patient introduction form, comfort and pain scales will be applied to the control group patients. No intervention will be applied to the control group patients and the clinic's routine practices will continue. As part of the post-test, the comfort and pain scales will be applied to the control group patients again.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
pain level	The patients will be given the scale in the patient room 2 hours after the surgery. The scale will be given again as a final test immediately after the music listening is over.	Numerical Rating Scale: This scale, which is intended to determine the severity of pain, aims to have the patient describe their pain with numbers. In the form, 0 points are evaluated as "no pain", 1-3 points as "mild pain", 4-6 points as "moderate pain", and 7 and above points as "severe pain"
comfort level	The patients will be given the scale in the patient room 2 hours after the surgery. The scale will be given again as a final test immediately after the music listening is over.	General Comfort Scale Short Form: General Comfort Scale Short Form is the Turkish adaptation of the General Comfort Scale developed by Kolcaba to measure the individual's comfort level in a more understandable way and in a shorter time. The scale consists of 28 items and the items of the scale are scored between 28-168. High scores indicate a high level of comfort.
