Brief Summary

It is important for healthcare professionals to provide care for gynecologic surgery patients using current evidence-based approaches. In this context, this study was planned to determine the effect of intraoral cold water spray application on thirst and thirst comfort in the postoperative period in patients undergoing gynecological surgery.

Conditions

Application Site Discomfort

Keywords

Gynecologic surgery; water spray; discomfort; thirst

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Thirst Severity Scale (Numerical Rating Scale)

  This scale was determined based on studies in the literature where the severity of thirst was evaluated using a numerical rating scale. It will be used to objectively evaluate the thirst levels of patients. It will be evaluated between 0-10 points with SDQ. While a score of 0 indicates that there is no thirst, a score of 10 indicates that the most severe thirst is felt. (Lee et al. 2020).

  1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th hours postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Thirst Discomfort Scale

  1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th hours postoperatively

Study Arms (2)

Experiment

EXPERIMENTAL

In cold water applications, 50 cc bottles with plastic spray heads will be used. New materials will be used for each patient. Interventions will be carried out by the researcher and. Cold water kept in the refrigerator at +4 degrees will be placed in 50 cc spray bottles for the experimental group and will be sprayed orally to the patients 3 times an hour in the postoperative period. The spray will be applied to the patient's mouth, upper palate, top of the tongue, right inner cheek, and left inner cheek. Patients will be given approximately 0.5 mL of water via spray in each application.

Other: water spray application

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Spray application will not be applied to patients in the control group.

Interventions

water spray application OTHER
