The results showed that the pain level was measured after 1 hour postoperatively and 2 hours postoperatively. At the initial measurement, there was no significant difference between the control group and the intervention group with a p value of 0.057. After 2 hours postoperatively, there was a significant difference in pain level between the control group and the intervention group with a p value of 0.041. Conclusion: The implementation of evidence based practice using guide imagery as a therapy before the patient is operated is proven to reduce the level of pain and anxiety of the patient.
