Summary
The purpose of this study is as follows.The purpose of this study is as follows. First, it aims to examine the differences in anxiety, depression, and sleep quality based on the inclusion of a music intervention during relaxation induction in the VR-based surgical education process for patients aged 20 to 65 undergoing gynecological surgery under general anesthesia. Second, it seeks to assess the impact of using virtual reality (VR) tools in preoperative education on patients' understanding of the surgical process and their satisfaction with the education. For patients aged 20 to 65, classified as physical status 1-3 according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) undergoing gynecological surgery under general anesthesia, educational materials related to the surgical process to be provided on the day of surgery will be created in two formats: written educational materials and virtual reality (VR) educational materials. The VR educational materials will include a relaxation-inducing breathing intervention protocol aimed at reducing anxiety. The intervention will be divided into two groups: one using verbal instructions and the other using music intervention, creating a total of four conditions. These conditions will then be provided to the four groups, which are randomly assigned prior to surgery, to investigate whether there is a difference in preoperative anxiety, depression, and sleep quality based on the music intervention during the relaxation induction. Additionally, we aim to assess whether the provision of relaxation therapy via breathing exercises through the use of VR during the surgical education process affects patients' understanding of the surgical process and their satisfaction with the education.

Interventions
group will receive standard preoperative guidelines as common educational materials. A written notice related to surgery that was previously used in the ward is provided.
group will receive standard preoperative guidelines as common educational materials. The VR-based educational materials and relaxation videos will utilize custom video content developed by Film Factory. The educational content involves a visual guide, where the patient, using a VR headset, is walked through the process of entering the operating room while listening to an explanation from the operating surgeon, which takes approximately 3 minutes. Verbal instructions for breathing are provided for about 3 minutes and 3 seconds.

The relaxation intervention, which provides instructions for calming the breath, lasts about 4 minutes and 32 seconds. After the intervention, an audio file in the form of a QR code will be provided, allowing participants to listen to it repeatedly at their discretion.
