Summary

The study will be conducted using a randomized controlled experimental design with experimental and control groups. Data will be collected between August 2025 and March 2026 in the General Surgery Clinic of Erzurum City Hospital. The study population will consist of patients who have undergone bariatric surgery at Erzurum City Hospital. A priori power analysis was performed to determine the sample size. According to the power analysis, based on Cohen's (Cohen, 2013) medium effect size of 0.5, with a significance level of 0.05, a 95% confidence interval, and 95% power to represent the population, it was determined that the study sample should include a total of 70 patients, with 35 patients in each group.

Interventions

DEVICE

Guided Imagery Application

Guided Imagery Intervention: Scenario-based guided imagery, one of the guided imagery techniques, will be utilized. The scenario will be developed with input from experts to promote functional recovery. Expert opinions will be obtained from a psychologist and a psychiatric nurse. The scenario will begin with breathing exercises and continue with the "safe place" technique. Patients will be instructed to listen to the audio recording using headphones in an environment free from disturbances, to set their phones to airplane mode, and to inform their relatives not to interrupt them before starting the session. Headphones will be provided by the researcher for each patient. After the content of the audio recordings is created during the initial session, it will be recorded via phone and transferred as a file to the patients' phones, with instructions on how to use it. The audio recording will last approximately 15 to 20 minutes and will include relaxing, soft background music.
