Sponsor: Osmaniye Korkut Ata University

Summary

Surgical interventions, while significant milestones in patients\' physical recovery processes, can be a major source of concern for patients due to postoperative pain, which is also an important component of postoperative care. If postoperative pain is not managed properly, it can lead to increased levels of anxiety and fear, as well as deterioration in overall comfort and quality of life. The ineffective management of postoperative pain has economic and medical consequences such as patient dissatisfaction, delayed hospital discharge, increased rates of hospital readmission, and dissatisfaction with medical care. Therefore, effective management of postoperative pain is of great importance for patient well-being. Factors associated with postoperative pain have been reported in many studies. For example, being female and the type of surgery. Therefore, considering gender and type of surgery in the management of postoperative pain is crucial to optimize the recovery process for patients. In recent years, research on the use of innovative technologies such as virtual reality in the management of postoperative pain has increased. Virtual reality can reduce postoperative pain by creating a sense of being in a different environment for patients and diverting their attention away from pain.
