In brief

The purpose of this study is as follows.The purpose of this study is as follows. First, it aims to examine the differences in anxiety, depression, and sleep quality based on the inclusion of a music intervention during relaxation induction in the VR-based surgical education process for patients aged 20 to 65 undergoing gynecological surgery under general anesthesia. Second, it seeks to assess the impact of using virtual reality (VR) tools in preoperative education on patients' understanding of the surgical process and their satisfaction with the education. For patients aged 20 to 65, classified as physical status 1-3 according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) undergoing gynecological surgery under general anesthesia, educational materials related to the surgical process to be provided on the day of surgery will be created in two formats: written educational materials and virtual reality (VR) educational materials. The VR educational materials will include a relaxation-inducing breathing intervention protocol aimed at reducing anxiety. The intervention will be divided into two groups: one using verbal instructions and the other using music intervention, creating a total of four conditions. These conditions will then be provided to the four groups, which are randomly assigned prior to surgery, to investigate whether there is a difference in preoperative anxiety, depression, and sleep quality based on the music intervention during the relaxation induction. Additionally, we aim to assess whether the provision of relaxation therapy via breathing exercises through the use of VR during the surgical education process affects patients' understanding of the surgical process and their satisfaction with the education.
