The Effect of Listening to Surah Al-Inshirah on Pain and Anxiety After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery

In the postoperative period, good pain and anxiety management is required to minimize complications and ensure recovery. Patients should be evaluated with a holistic approach, taking into account factors such as physical and psychological discomfort, anxiety level, age, gender, previous pain level. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used to relieve pain and anxiety in the postoperative period.

Non-pharmacological methods reduce the patient's pain and anxiety by creating a feeling of comfort and control in the patient. Relaxation techniques such as hypnosis, yoga and music are among these. The main purpose of these methods is to draw the attention of the individual in another direction. Praying is also one of the non-drug methods, and the number of studies on this subject is very limited, and there are studies where it has been determined that praying and praying reduces the anxiety levels of patients.

Purpose To examine the effect of listening to Surah al-Inshirah on pain and anxiety after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.

Method The population of the study will consist of patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Mardin Training and Research Hospital and Kızıltepe State Hospital, who meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate in the research.

The study group of 60 people who will participate in the research will be divided into two equal groups according to the table of random numbers obtained from the computer-based Research Randomizer program.

Experimental group patients; A patient descriptive characteristics form will be applied, pretest VAS pain score and state anxiety scale will be applied. Then, the Surah al-Inshirah will be listened to and the final test VAS pain score and state anxiety scale will be applied.

Control group patients; A patient descriptive characteristics form will be applied, pretest VAS pain score and state anxiety scale will be applied. The posttest VAS pain score and state anxiety scale will be applied 10 minutes later, without any intervention.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Patient Information Form	This form, created by the researcher with the support of the relevant literature, consists of 9 questions that question the patients' education level, age, gender, occupation, marital status, income level, previous surgery experience and coping methods used for pain and anxiety in daily life.	It will be applied to patients in the clinic 2 hours before the laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)	The patient was asked to mark on a 10 cm horizontal line showing his current status on the Visual analog scale. In this study, for pain and anxiety; Markings were made on a 10 cm horizontal line, one end indicating that the patient's pain was very good (0 = no pain), and the other end indicating that the patient's pain was very bad (10 = most severe). The distance from the point where there was no pain or anxiety (0) to the point marked by the patient was measured. The value found shows the patient's pain and anxiety.	Change from initial Visual Analog Scale in 10 minutes
