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.

Treatments tested in this trial
Emotional Freedom Techniques
BehavioralEFT is a structured psychological relaxation technique applied during the preoperative and postoperative periods for patients undergoing knee arthroscopy. Participants tap on specific acupressure points while focusing on their pain or anxiety, guided by a trained practitioner. Each session consists of at least 3 consecutive repetitions and lasts approximately 30-35 minutes. The intervention aims to reduce pain, anxiety, and fear of movement (kinesiophobia) associated with the surgical recovery process.
listening music
BehavioralParticipants will listen to any music of their choice during recovery sessions, guided by study personnel. Each session lasts approximately 30-35 minutes per sesession, during the preoperative and postoperative periods. This intervention is designed to alleviate pain, anxiety and fear of movement (kinesiphobia) associated with knee arthroscopy recovery.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change in postoperative pain after knee arthroscopy with perioperative Music Listening and EFT interventions (measured by VAS)
The perioperative effects of listening to music and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) on postoperative pain, kinesiophobia (fear of movement), and the risk of falling in patients who have undergone knee arthroscopy will be evaluated. \- For pain, the measurement tool used is the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scale (0 indicates no pain; 10 indicates unbearable severe pain);

Change in fall risk after knee arthroscopy (ITAKI FALL RISK SCALE)
For fall risk, the Itaki Fall Risk Scale (scores below 5 indicate low risk; scores above 5 indicate high risk) will be used. Fall risk will be determined using the ITAKI Fall Risk Scale, a reliable measurement method validated in Turkey; multidimensional risk factors such as age, level of consciousness, history of falls, mobility and balance, visual status, medication use, neurological and orthopedic issues, toileting needs, and environmental factors will be taken into account. Patients will undergo a risk assessment using this scale on the day of surgery. After the music listening intervention is administered to the music listening group, the postoperative risk status will be evaluated. The situation is similar for the EFT group. The patient's fall risk will be determined during the preoperative period, and the effect of EFT on fall risk during the postoperative period will be evaluated using the scale.

Additional Postoperative Outcomes: Kinesiophobia
For kinesophobia, the Tampa Kinesophobia Scale (scores range from 17 to 68, with higher scores indicating greater kinesophobia); EFT and music listening will be compared to a control group in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy surgery who have been randomly assigned to either the music listening or EFT group. In addition to pain and risk of falling, patients' fear of movement will be measured using the TAMPA KINESIOPHOBIA SCALE. The scale consists of 17 items. The possible score range is 17-68. A high score will be interpreted as indicating a fear of movement. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of EFT and music listening on fear of movement.
