Surgical stress response includes changes in hormones, blood glucose, and anxiety levels that occur before and after major surgery. Guided visualization meditation is a non-invasive relaxation technique that uses calming audio instructions to help patients imagine peaceful scenes and reduce stress.\n\nIn this study, patients scheduled for cardiac surgery will be assigned to one of two groups: an intervention group that receives guided visualization meditation and a control group that receives standard care only. Patients in the intervention group will listen to an audio recording containing guided visualization and calming background music through headphones. Sessions will be provided twice on the day before surgery, twice on the day of surgery, and twice on the first postoperative day.\n\nTo evaluate the effects of the intervention, blood samples will be collected to measure cortisol, glucose, and insulin levels. Anxiety levels will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I and STAI-II), and pain will be measured using a visual pain scale. These measurements will be performed at three specific time points: one day before surgery, six hours after extubation, and one day post-surgery.\n\nThe goal of this research is to determine whether guided visualization meditation can help reduce stress-related physiological and psychological changes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. If effective, this method may offer a simple, safe, and supportive strategy to improve recovery and overall patient well-being.",[27,28,29,30,31],"Cardiac Surgery","Surgical Stress Response","Coronary Artery Disease","Postoperative Stress","Anxiety",[33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40],"guided visualization","meditation","mind-body intervention","STAI","perioperative care","cardiac surgery patients","insulin resistance","blood glucose","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-01-23",{"date":44,"type":45},"2026-02-02","ACTUAL",{"date":47,"type":21},"2026-01-15",{"date":49,"type":21},"2027-03-31",{"name":51,"class":52},"University of Gaziantep","OTHER",1,{"id":55,"slug":56,"hasResults":11,"nctId":57,"briefTitle":58,"officialTitle":59,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":60,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":61,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":63,"briefSummary":64,"conditions":65,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":41,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":66,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":67,"startDateStruct":69,"completionDateStruct":71,"leadSponsor":73,"locationsCount":53},"100599932","the-influence-of-natural-sounds-on-the-well-being-of-patients-after-orthopaedic-surgery-100599932","NCT07090915","The Influence of Natural Sounds on the Well-being of Patients After Orthopaedic Surgery","Evaluating the Impact of Nature Soundscapes on Post-Operative Stress and Anxiety in Orthopedic Surgery Patients","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1. duly completed declaration of consent\n2. the age of the patient is at least 18 years\n3. only patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n1. deafness\n2. severe cognitive impairment\n3. chronic pain patient\n4. pain catheter insertion during the trial period\n5. psychiatric disorders (e.g. anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, ...)\n6. severe postoperative complications\n7. no consent to participate",{"count":62,"type":21},120,[24],"For many people, a stay in hospital can be associated with stress and anxiety, especially after surgery.
