About this trial

This study aims to evaluate whether listening to music and using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can help patients recover better after knee arthroscopy. After this type of surgery, many patients experience pain, fear of movement (kinesiophobia), balance problems, and an increased risk of falling.

In this study, patients will receive music listening and EFT as supportive, non-drug interventions during the postoperative period. The goal is to determine whether these simple and safe methods can reduce pain, decrease fear of movement, and lower fall risk, ultimately improving recovery.

The findings of this study may help healthcare professionals, especially nurses, provide more holistic and patient-centered care after knee surgery.
