The Effect of Video-Supported Online Preoperative Education on Fear, Anxiety, Sleep, and Stress

Gallbladder stone disease is among the most common digestive system problems worldwide. The global incidence of gallstones is estimated to be 10-20%. In Europe, this rate is approximately 20%. In Turkey, the incidence of gallstones is accepted as 6% and it is estimated that an average of 4 million people have gallstones. ). Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most commonly used minimally invasive technique in the surgical treatment of gallbladder diseases. Although this is a technique, it also has many complications. Although drains placed after surgery are protective and therapeutic, they may cause some complications. Due to all these reasons, there are disadvantages such as lack of training and incomplete information given to the patient before surgery, and the patient not knowing what to do in physiological and psychological preparation before surgery. This training and information seems to be important in post-operative recovery and shortening the hospital period. Pre-surgical virtual training enables early detection of changes in the patient's vital signs, early intervention, and reduction of the number of home visits.
