Sponsor's own description
The aim of this randomized prospective study is to examine the effect of preoperative family hugging (for at least 20 seconds) on preoperative anxiety levels and postoperative pain. The main question the study aims to answer is: * Does preoperative hugging reduce anxiety levels? * Does preoperative hugging reduce postoperative pain scores? Anxiety and pain scores will be evaluated between patients who hugged and those who did not hug their family members before surgery, and whether hugging has an effect will be assessed.
