The Effect of Listening to Surah Al-Inshirah on Pain and Anxiety After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery

In the postoperative period, good pain and anxiety management is required to minimize complications and ensure recovery. Patients should be evaluated with a holistic approach, taking into account factors such as physical and psychological discomfort, anxiety level, age, gender, previous pain level. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used to relieve pain and anxiety in the postoperative period.

Non-pharmacological methods reduce the patient's pain and anxiety by creating a feeling of comfort and control in the patient. Relaxation techniques such as hypnosis, yoga and music are among these. The main purpose of these methods is to draw the attention of the individual in another direction. Praying is also one of the non-drug methods, and the number of studies on this subject is very limited, and there are studies where it has been determined that praying and praying reduces the anxiety levels of patients.

Purpose To examine the effect of listening to Surah al-Inshirah on pain and anxiety after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.
