Surgical Drain Removal: Pain and Anxiety Management

Care was taken to ensure that patients did not receive analgesia for at least 4 hours before the procedure. Before drain removal, the patient's NRPS level was assessed, and the STAI-I questionnaire was filled out. The experimental group was given a video to watch before the procedure began, and the use of glasses was explained. VRG was put on the patient, and the drain was removed in the 3rd minute while the video was being watched. After the procedure, the patients' pain perception during the procedure was assessed with the NRPS form. The STAI-I questionnaire was filled out again.
