Laparoscopic surgery leaves less scarring and less pain after surgery, and has cosmetic advantages. In addition, it has the advantages of fast recovery after surgery, short hospitalization period, and quick return to social life. For this reason, laparoscopic surgery has been rapidly applied to surgical operations since the 1990s and has been operated in many fields for 30 years. However, despite the many advantages, the pain persists for 2 to 3 days when carbon dioxide injected into the abdominal cavity during the process of forming ups and downs to secure the field of vision during surgery remains in the abdominal cavity, and the pain can cause various negative results. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the pain, which is also deeply related to the emotional state of the patient. A patient's emotional state before surgery, such as anxiety or depression, affects the patient's status after surgery, and anxiety reduction promotes recovery after surgery and reduces side effects. Therefore, this study was attempted to find out the emotional state before surgery by analyzing the relationship between the patient's emotional state and post-operative pain for laparoscopic surgery patients. This study is a descriptive correlation research study. The subjects of this study were 92 patients who were hospitalized at University C Hospital in Seoul and underwent laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. Data were collected from November 03, 2020 to April 10, 2021. The emotional state before surgery was measured on the hospital anxiety-depression scale, and the postoperative pain was measured on the numeric pain scale. The collected data used SPSS statistics program. The results of this study are as follows. ∙ For the subjects, the proportion of women was 65.2%, which was higher than that of men, and the average age wa 44.2±12.4, and 65.2% of married people were married. In terms of educational background, 66.3% had a college degree or higher, and the ratio of religion presence or absence was confirmed to be 50%, respectively. The most common diagnosis was cholelithiasis 55.4%, and the non-use of analgesic during surgery was 87%, the average operation time was 62.2 (±17.48) minutes, and the average amount of anesthetic was 141.3 (±17.0) mg. ∙ The mean preoperative pain was 2.14(±1.91), the mean of anxiety before surgery was 5.10(±2.91), and the mean of depression was 5.60(±2.81). The average postoperative pain was 4.91±1.81 points. Immediately after surgery, total abdominal pain wa 50%, shoulder pain was 4.3%, 6 hours after surgery, total abdominal pain was 35.9%, shoulder pain wa 25%, and 12 hours after surgery, total abdominal pain was 43.5%. , 18.5% of shoulder pain, 52.5% of the entire abdomen and 9.8% of shoulder pain after 24 hours after the operation. ∙ There was no difference in postoperative pain according to the preoperative emotional states of anxiety (t=.306, p=.763) and depression (t=-,524 p=.602). ∙ As a result of the correlation analysis between preoperative emotional state and postoperative pain, postoperative pain was determined by age (r=.33, p=.002), and analgesic use when necessary in the post-operative ward (r=.354, p=.003), wa found to have a significant correlation with operation time (r=.21, p=.041), anesthetic usage (r=.29, p=.005), and residence time in the recovery room (r=-.23, p=.031) showed a negative (-) correlation. According to the results of this study, shoulder pain occurred due to the nature of laparoscopic surgery using relief agents, and despite the laparoscopic surgery, postoperative pain wa at a level that required management. Therefore, there is a need to develop a pain management nursing intervention ba ed on understanding the characteristics of pain after laparoscopic surgery
