The reasons for anxiety before laparoscopic cholecystectomy include the operation of the surgery process, its therapeutic effect, lack of information about the postoperative period and lack of communication. The increase in the preoperative anxiety level in patients undergoing surgical intervention negatively affects the patients\' sleep, recovery and quality of life, length of hospital stay is prolonged, cost increases in hospitals, and socioeconomic losses occur in individuals and institutions. Therefore, this study will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of video-based training given by an operating room nurse to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy on preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain and recovery quality. Considering possible sample loss, it was decided to include 72 patients, 36 in the intervention group and 36 in the control group. One of the patients included in both the intervention and control groups was excluded from the study because he was converted to open cholecystectomy during surgery and was taken to intensive care postoperatively. The study was completed with a total of 70 patients, 35 in the intervention group and 35 in the control group. Patient Information Form, Surgical Anxiety Scale, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Recovery Quality Scale-15 will be used to collect data.
