Effects of Comedy Therapy on Anxiety and Vital Signs in Transplant Recipients
Principal Investigator, Assistant Professor Şerafettin OKUTAN, Surgical Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Bitlis Eren University
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of watching excerpts from classical Turkish comedy films on pre-transplant anxiety levels and vital signs in liver transplant recipients.
H1-0: Watching classical Turkish comedy films has no effect on preoperative anxiety in liver transplant recipients.
H1-1: Watching classical Turkish comedy films reduces preoperative anxiety in liver transplant recipients.
H2-0: Watching classical Turkish comedy films has no effect on preoperative vital signs in liver transplant recipients.
H2-1: Watching classical Turkish comedy films has a positive effect on preoperative vital signs in liver transplant recipients.

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Intervention Group:
A patient introduction form and a state anxiety scale will be applied as a pre-test before transplant surgery, and vital signs will be checked. Patients will be shown 10-minute Turkish comedy films prepared by researchers before transplant surgery. After the intervention, vital signs will be checked as a post-test and a state anxiety scale will be applied. A quiet and calm environment will be provided in the patient room while patients are shown the comedy films.
Control Group:
A patient introduction form and a state anxiety scale will be applied as a pre-test before transplant surgery, and vital signs will be checked. No intervention will be made to the control group patients outside of the clinical protocol. After a certain waiting period (average of 30 minutes), the patients' vital signs will be checked and the state anxiety scale will be applied again.

No Intervention: standard of care
Before transplant surgery, a patient introduction form and a state anxiety scale will be applied as a pre-test, and vital signs will be checked.
No intervention will be made to the control group patients outside of the clinical protocol.
