Brief Summary

Septoplasty/septorhinoplasty is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in ENT clinics. Intranasal packing is widely used post-operatively for nasal septum stabilization and bleeding control. Patients experience pain after septoplasty during the removal of nasal packing. These patients may be concerned about pain before nasal packing removal, thus increasing anxiety levels. Various methods are currently employed to reduce this pain. Anxiety is a symptom when a person does not feel safe. Anxiety levels can be objectively measured using different tests including Spielberger state anxiety inventory. In this digital era, there is a growing tendency to use the popular internet sites as YouTube, Google as a new electronic learning for medical information. The quality of information found on YouTube or other sources could be low and make people more anxious before a minor procedure. Investigators aim to evaluate the effect of visual and auditory information prepared by the surgeon on anxiety level of patient at nasal packing removal after septoplasty/septorhinoplasty. For this purpose; patients who will undergo septo and septorhinoplasty at Istanbul Baskent University Hospital are recruited. A video of nasal packing removal performed by the surgeon will be watched by the patient and Spielberger state anxiety inventory will be filled out before nasal packing removal. The control group will fill out Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory without watching the video before nasal packing removal. The scores of the groups will be compared and the effect of the video based information on anxiety will be revealed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The effect of visual and auditory information on anxiety levels by using spielberg state anxiety inventory

  The effect of visual and auditory information prepared by the surgeon on anxiety levels at nasal packing removal after septoplasty/septorhinoplasty procedures. Mean score of the inventory is 36-41. The minimum and maximum scores of the inventory are 20 and 80. High score means high anxiety level and low score means low anxiety level.
