About

Cataract is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in the world and in Türkiye. Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed and most reliable surgeries for eye diseases. Advances in anesthesia and surgical techniques make it possible for most cataract surgery procedures to be performed under topical anesthetic.

Full description

This success greatly reduces the duration of surgery, and the side effects associated with local or general anesthesia. However, despite the sedation that can be administered before and during surgery (e.g. benzodiazepines and opioids), patients can experience significant anxiety along with a certain degree of pain and discomfort during surgery. Anxiety causes stress that causes the cardiovascular system to respond by activating the sympathetic nervous system, which causes an increase in heart rate and blood pressure (BP) levels. These mechanisms can complicate the surgical procedure due to increased intraocular pressure. Hypertension and tachycardia above 85 discharges per minute represent an increased risk of orbital bleeding during local anesthetic injection and potential perioperative supracoroidal expulsive bleeding. The sequence and pre-operative music intervention is to be an inexpensive, easy-to-implement technique that has no side effects, has no significant beneficial effects on the anxiety of patients in different surgical populations. Also, music intervention allows for better patient co-operation during surgery under topical anesthesia and a drop in intraoperative blood pressure. Another method that is effective in reducing anxiety and pain is the stress ball. The stress ball is usually a soft toy that is not greater than 7 cm, gets stuck, relieving stress and muscle tension, or manipulated with fingers for exercising the muscles. One of the methods of distracting attention, the stress ball is an effective way of ensuring cognitive focus. The stress ball method has been used to reduce patients' anxiety and pain. Stretching the stress ball during surgery increases the feeling of strength, allowing patients to have direct control over the object. In this way, surgical intervention has a positive effect on anxiety and patient satisfaction without intervention. While the literature includes studies involving the combination of stress ball use and music intervention on surgical patients, there is no research involving combined use of music and stress ball application in cataract surgery in a single study. The investigators work therefore contributes to literature.

105 participants in 3 patient groups

Stres topu grubu
Experimental group
Description:
Pain levels will be tested with VAS 10 minutes before the surgery, and anxiety levels with the VAS-A and Spielberg Continuous Anxiety Scale. The stress balls will be given to both hands of the patient, counting to five and pressing twice. The patient will be shown to use the stress balls for 15 minutes during the surgery. The patient will be told to use the stress balls for 15 minutes during the surgery. After 15 minutes, the researcher will inform the patient and make sure the patient drops the balls.
Treatment:
Behavioral: müzik müdahalesi
Müzik grubu
Experimental group
Description:
Pain levels will be tested with VAS 10 minutes before the surgery, and anxiety levels with the VAS-A and Spielberg Continuous Anxiety Scale. According to the randomization, the patient in the music intervention group will first be asked by the researcher to select his favorite music from the playlist. The playlist will be created using the Spotify app. The playlist will include a total of 50 songs from each group (pop, Turkish art music, local Turkish and religious music), including ten songs. Options will be shown to the patient on the phone (Apple/MU783TU/A) and the music he wants will be added to the playlist. The patient will be told that the selected music will be listened to for 15 minutes during cataract surgery.
Treatment:
Behavioral: müzik müdahalesi
Kontrol grubu
No Intervention group
Description:
Pain levels will be tested with VAS 10 minutes before the surgery, and anxiety levels with the VAS-A and Spielberg Continuous Anxiety Scale. The patient in the control group will not be given any intervention.
