This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether virtual reality (VR) training and relaxing music can help reduce anxiety and improve understanding before gynecology surgery. Researchers will compare four different approaches: written education alone, VR with guided breathing instructions, VR with guided breathing plus music, and written education plus music. The goal is to see which method helps patients feel calmer, understand their surgery better, and feel more satisfied with their preoperative preparation.
Many patients feel anxious before surgery, which can affect their comfort and recovery. This trial explores whether newer approaches like virtual reality and music might help ease anxiety and improve the preoperative experience better than traditional written education alone.

You will be randomly assigned to one of four groups. One day before your surgery, you will receive your assigned preparation method—either written education, virtual reality training with spoken breathing instructions, virtual reality training with music and breathing instructions, or written education combined with music. Each approach takes about the same amount of time. Before and after your preparation, researchers will ask you questions about your anxiety level, how well you understand your surgery, and your overall satisfaction. All standard surgical procedures and anesthesia will continue as planned.
