About this study

Before Total Knee Prosthesis surgery, patients will have their blood pressure, pulse and anxiety levels measured before the surgery. Patients in the experimental group will listen to an audiobook for 20 minutes. The selected book will be played via wireless headphones. The researcher will check the battery level of the headphones and charge it when necessary. In this way, the headphones will be ready for the next patient. A smartphone with Spotify mobile application installed, which the researcher is a member of, will be used for the audiobook application. The connection between the headphones and the audiobook will be provided via Bluetooth. The patient will be present from the moment they start listening to the audiobook section, and if they experience any hearing problems or if there is an attempt to stop listening, immediate intervention will be made. Necessary interventions will be made for patients who experience interruptions during listening to listen again. After each application, the headphones will be cleaned with an antiseptic solution containing chlorhexidine 2%. The patient will be asked to rest for 10 minutes after the audiobook application. At the end of 10 minutes, the patient will be filled with an AÖKÖ and the patient's blood pressure and pulse will be measured and recorded. When measuring patients' blood pressure, the same blood pressure monitor with calibrated cuff, manometer, and stethoscope will be used, and when measuring pulse, the saturation device data will be used and recorded.

Primary outcomes

The Surgery Specific Anxiety Scale will be used for preoperative anxiety.

Time frame: up to 12 months

It was developed to determine the level of anxiety in surgical patients during and after surgery. The scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 10 questions designed to measure the anxiety that patients may experience regarding surgery. The surgery-specific anxiety score in the scale is obtained by adding the responses to all items, and the total score of the scale is 50. As the score increases, the level of anxiety experienced also increases.
Patient Introduction Form

Time frame: up to 12 months

It consists of two parts. The first part includes introductory information such as the patient's age, gender, education level, and employment status, while the second part evaluates the total knee prosthesis surgery history, current chronic disease status, and knowledge about the audiobook. There will be a total of 10 questions in the form.
Patient Pulse Form,

Time frame: up to 12 months

Pulse findings of patients who will undergo total knee replacement surgery will be recorded before and after the audiobook application.
patient blood pressure form

Time frame: up to 12 months

Blood pressure findings of patients who will undergo total knee prosthesissurgery will be recorded before and after the audiobook application and it will be checked whether it is effective in reducing the blood pressure.
