The Effects of Different Types of Music on Patients Undergoing Thyroid Surgery

Patients were met within 1 hour preoperatively. Vital signs, pain score, blood glucose were checked and state anxiety scale was applied. Music was played through headphones and speakers for at least 20 minutes according to the type of music preferred by the patients and the preferred way of listening to music, and the state anxiety scale was applied again. Patients' questions were answered and they were encouraged to share any concerns. Patients were prepared for surgery and transferred to the operating room. Considering the patient's recovery from anesthesia, patients were visited again the day after surgery, vital signs, pain score, blood glucose were checked and the perianesthesia comfort questionnaire (PCQ) was applied.
