About this study

Preoperative anxiety can be detected via structured and standardized screening by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) I and II. 80 patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty surgery for will be included in our study. Preoperative STAI I and II score (anxiety questionnaire) will be applied to each patient. The patients will be divided into two groups as listening patient preferential music, and control. The patient favorite music track and singer without limiting the kind of music or classical music will be played through the headphones.Secondary aim is to assess the effect of listening patient preferred music on Quality of recovery, postoperative pain, MCID (minimal clinically important diffirence), patient and surgeon satisfaction.

Primary outcomes

  1. Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) score

    Time frame: Preoperative 1st hour and Postoperative 4th hour

    The test scores between 20 and 80, with higher scores indicating more generalized and stronger anxiety. Preoperative and postoperative STAI I score questions will be asked.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)

    Time frame: Postoperative 4th, 12th and 24th hours

    11-point numerical rating scale for pain (0='no pain' and 10='worst pain possible pain') were explained.

  2. The quality of postoperative functional recovery (QoR-15) score

    Time frame: Preoperative 1st hour and Postoperative 24th hour

    The patient-reported Turkish QoR-15 score includes 15 questions that evaluate the patient's postoperative recovery. The QoR-15 score is grouped under two groups, A and B. A high QoR-15 score, a score between 0 (poor) and 10 (excellent) for each item, and a total score of 150 indicate better quality of recovery.

  3. Patient satisfaction score

    Time frame: Postoperative 24th hour

    Patients were asked about their satisfaction levels with a number between 0-10.

  4. MCID of STAI score

    Time frame: 24 hour

    Calculation of the MCID of the STAI score

  5. MCID of QoR-15 score

    Time frame: 24 hour

    Calculation of the MCID of the QoR-15 score
