Given the importance of identifying and implementing interventions to reduce agitation and recovery time in patients after surgery, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of Nurse Voice-Based Auditory Orientation on Agitation and Recovery Time after General Anesthesia in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="background:white"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span style="color:black">Materials and Methods:&nbsp;</span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span style="color:black">This randomized clinical trial was conducted on patients who were clinically diagnosed with cholecystitis, and underwent Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Data was collected using the RASS Agitation Assessment Scale questionnaire and a checklist for post-operative recovery time. Patients underwent anesthesia with a standardized protocol. In the group intervention patients (n=27), headphones were provided to patients in the operating room, post-operative awareness with</span></span></span> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span style="color:black">auditory sensory stimulation was conducted using the pre-recorded voice of the patient&#39;s nurse from the surgical ward. In the group control patients (n=27), only routine operating room care was performed. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span style="color:black">Results</span></span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span style="color:black">: The results of the Generalized Estimating Equations test demonstrated that the control and intervention groups exhibited a statistically significant difference in agitation scores (p< 0.05). Patients in the intervention group exhibited lower agitation scores. The study also demonstrated a statistically significant difference in recovery time between the two groups (P<0.01). </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span style="color:black">Conclusion</span></span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span style="color:black">: The results indicated that auditory stimulation administered by nurses in the operating room reduced the recovery time and agitation of patients after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> &nbsp; nurse, recovery, agitation, nurse's voice, Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy 29 29 http://journal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-5639-5&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Seyedeh Efat Tanhaei tanhaefat5@gmail.com 5200319475328460089045 5200319475328460089045 No Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences, Sabzevar, Iran hamideh yazdimoghaddam ha_yazdimoghaddam@yahoo.com 5200319475328460089046 5200319475328460089046 No Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences, Sabzevar, Iran Qasem Soltani Ha.yazdimoghaddam@gmail.com 5200319475328460089047 5200319475328460089047 No Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.
