This study aimed to investigate the effect of music listening during the preoperative and postoperative stages in patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery(RIRS) on basic life findings, anxiety, pain, and the amount of analgesic used. This is a randomized controlled experimental study. The study was conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The control group received standard care. In contrast, the intervention group, in addition to standard care, was listened to the music by the researchers for 15 minutes one hour before their surgery.
