What this Trial Is About

This study was planned to be a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of patient education and family interview practices using virtual reality on stress intensity, anxiety and information need levels, sleep quality and satisfaction with the preparation process for surgery in cholecystectomy patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a significant difference in stress intensity, anxiety, and information need levels between patients who received and did not receive patient education with VR glasses in the ward before cholecystectomy surgery? * Is there a significant difference in stress intensity and anxiety levels between patients who received and did not receive video family interviews with VR glasses in the operative waiting area before cholecystectomy surgery? * Is there a significant difference in stress intensity, anxiety, and sleep quality levels at discharge of groups that received different VR interventions? * What is the postoperative sleep quality of patients with low preoperative anxiety levels? * What is the satisfaction of patients who received VR with the surgery preparation process? The patients participating in the study will be numbered according to the order of hospitalization and assigned to one of the control, education, education+interview groups in accordance with the randomization list. Face-to-face communication will be established with each patient in the ward on the day of hospitalization, in the preoperative waiting area when they come to the operating room and in the ward on the day of discharge. Depending on the groups in which the patients are included, they will be shown an educational video using virtual reality goggles and/or will be allowed to meet with their families. No application will be made to the control group and the ward routine will continue.
