Endorphin massage

For Group 1 (experimental group), patients admitted to the clinic one day before surgery will complete the first two sections of the Patient Diagnosis Form (I. Individual characteristics and II. Health and illness-related data), the Surgical Fear and Anxiety Scale, and the VAS scales after the endorphin massage. The patients will be informed that the endorphin massage will last approximately 20 minutes. According to evidence-based current guidelines, it is stated that the intensity of the patient's pain should be assessed during the preoperative period for pain management planning and goals in the postoperative period. Therefore, patients' pain scores will also be recorded preoperatively using the VAS scale. On the morning of the surgery, before going to the operating room, the endorphin massage will be repeated, and the scales will be applied again. After surgery, patients will have their pain levels measured using the VAS at hours 0, 4, 8, 16, and 24, and the amount of analgesics tak
