Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of training on surgical environments provided with virtual tour before orthopedic surgical ıntervention on patients' anxiety and satisfaction level.
Detailed description
Although preoperative anxiety is accepted as a normal patient response, severe anxiety can lead to a number of negative physiological, emotional and cognitive consequences for patients and ultimately to prolonged hospitalization. If anxiety is not managed effectively in the preoperative period, recovery time is prolonged and the risk of anesthesia and surgery-related complications increases. Moreover, it can lead to respiratory distress and cardiac problems. It causes life threats by increasing the risk of bleeding with deterioration in hemodynamic parameters and negatively affects surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction. For all these reasons, this study was designed to contribute to the management of anxiety, which is seen as a problem that needs to be addressed in surgical nursing.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI): Pre-test and post-test differences of anxiety levels | From immediately before preoperative training to immediately after preoperative training (on the day before surgery). | The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is accepted as the the gold standard to determine the level of anxiety. The validity and reliability of the STAI in Turkey was conducted by Oner and Le Compte. The STAI can be administered to individuals over the age of 14 and there is no time limit for answering. It includes two separate scales of twenty items each (ie, the State Anxiety Scale (STAI-S) and the Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI-T). STAI-S and STAI-T scores are calculated separately. The total score obtained from the scales varies between 20 and 80, and a high score indicates a high level of anxiety. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Satisfaction: Pre-test and post-test differences of satisfaction levels | From immediately before preoperative training to immediately after preoperative training (on the day before surgery). | The satisfaction form, created by the researcher using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), includes a scale for patients to rate their satisfaction. Scoring is between 0 and 10 points (0 to 10 inclusive). A high score indicates a high level of satisfaction. |
