Although it changes with age, due to its high incidence and prevalence, inguinal hernia is one of the most commonly performed surgeries by general surgeons. Pain, anxiety and changes in comfort levels in patients after inguinal hernia repair surgery negatively affect the patient's recovery after surgery. One of the goals of nursing care practices in the perioperative period, especially in patients undergoing surgery, is to provide and maintain patient comfort. Today, the concept of comfort is a part of quality nursing care, allowing patients to be comfortable, carefree, recover more quickly and cope better with disease stress. Using non-pharmacological methods in pain management reduces the use of pharmacological methods, increases the patient's comfort level, reduces stress and anxiety, increases the individual's sense of control over their own health and increases physical function and daily life activities. Virtual reality, music therapy, stress ball are used in various areas of clinical medical care as a way to distract attention and relieve pain.

Music intervention
Other interventionThe patient will be asked to choose their favorite music. The playlist will include ten songs from each music group (pop, Turkish classical music, local folk songs and religious music), a total of 50 songs.

The selected music will be listened to for 15 minutes before the surgery.
stres ball
Other interventionStress balls will be given to the patient in both palms, they will be asked to count from one to five and squeeze twice.

Virtual Reality Glasses
Other interventionThe patient will be shown a video of a nature walk by the nurse providing nursing care to the patient. The patients will be shown a video with virtual reality glasses for 15 minutes before the surgery.
comfort
t was designed by researchers similar to the use of "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)". VAS is used to make measurable some values that cannot be measured numerically, which are evaluated by individuals by marking on a horizontal or vertical line of 10 cm or 100 mm, one end of which indicates that the individual is "very good" and the other end indicates that the individual is "very bad".

anxiety
This scale consists of two parts: STAI-I and STAI-II. The scale consists of 20 items. Items 1-20 on the scale measure anxiety in four options. Trait anxiety scores were calculated by adding the unchanging number 35 for the trait anxiety scale to the obtained result. The lowest score on the scale is 20, the highest score is 80. Score Status Anxiety level; 0-19 points indicate no anxiety, 20-39 points indicate mild anxiety, 40-59 points indicate moderate anxiety, 60-79 points indicate severe anxiety, 80 and above indicate panic level anxiety. As the score increases, the anxiety level also increases.
