Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of oral cold water spray application on thirst severity and patient satisfaction after spinal surgery. H1: Oral cold water spray application has an effect on thirst severity after spinal surgery. H2: Oral cold water spray application has an effect on salivary pH after spinal surgery. H3: Oral cold water spray application affects the satisfaction of patients after spinal surgery.

Conditions

Thirst

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• thirst

  to determine the effect of oral cold water spray application on the severity of thirst after spinal surgery. Thirst severity and discomfort levels of the patients will be evaluated numerically four times and salivary pH levels will be evaluated twice (before the first application and 1 hour after the end of all applications) with the chart (Visual Analogue Scale values) at the end of the "Postoperative patient follow-up form". The Visual Analogue Scale, which is used to convert data that cannot be evaluated numerically into numerical form, is 10 cm long and is graded on a horizontal or vertical line. Since thirst is a state of discomfort consisting of subjective experiences expressed by the person, it is stated in the literature that the use of the Visual Analogue Scale in the evaluation of thirst is appropriate and can be used safely in studies.

  postoperative period (2., 2.5, 4. and 4.5. hours)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• satisfaction of patients

  postoperative period (6.hour)

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: The data will be collected and coded by the nurse researcher. Data will be analyzed by an independent statistician. The study groups will be disguised as A and B. The statistician will not know the groups. In addition, the statistical expert will not see the data of the experimental group regarding satisfaction.
• Purpose: SUPPORTIVE CARE
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
