This study is the first nursing study in the field of urology to examine the effect of Su Jok Therapy on postoperative pain, anxiety and patient satisfaction in patients who underwent Transurethral Resection of the Prostate with a diagnosis of BPH and is thought to make an important contribution to evidence-based nursing practices. In line with the results obtained from the study, it is expected that the anxiety levels of patients planned to apply Su Jok therapy will be reduced, pain levels will be reduced, and patient satisfaction will increase.

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Patient Pain Assessment

  Patient's pain will be assessed. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be used to assess pain.The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be'). Ask the patient to rate their current level of pain by placing a mark on the line.

  From preoperative to 8 hours postoperatively

• Anxiety

  Patient's anxiety will be assessed. The State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) will be used to assess anxiety. The State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) is a commonly used measure of trait and state anxiety. It can be used in clinical settings to diagnose anxiety and to distinguish it from depressive syndromes. It also is often used in research as an indicator of caregiver distress. its most popular version, has 20 items for assessing trait anxiety and 20 for state anxiety.

  Preoperative and 8th hour after surgery

• Patient satisfaction

  Patient satisfaction will be assessed. Visual Analog Patient Satisfaction Scale will be used to evaluate patient satisfaction.This scale ranges from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 10 (very satisfied).
