This study was a randomised clinical trial on 60 candidates undergoing lumbar disc herniation surgery. Anxiety rate and vital signs were measured before and after the intervention. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the preoperative anxiety, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse and respiratory rate (P = 0.0001). Neurosurgery perioperative nurses can make use of multimedia in preoperative nursing visit based on the needs of patients.
