Brief summary
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.
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.
