    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Mese, Mesut; Saritas, Serdar
    Aim: This study was conducted to analyze the effects of the inhalation of peppermint oil after lumbar discectomy surgery on the pain and anxiety levels of patients. Materials and method: This study was performed as a randomized controlled trial from September 2022 to June 2023 with 68 patients (34 patients in the experimental group and 34 patients in the control group). A Patient Information Form, the Numerical Pain Rating Scale, and the State Anxiety Inventory were used in the data collection process. The researcher administered the Patient Information Form to the patients before they underwent surgery. The State Anxiety Inventory and the Numerical Pain Rating Scale were administered to the patients after the second hour in the postoperative period. Next, for 10 minutes, only the patients in the experimental group inhaled five drops of peppermint oil dripped on a sterile gauze pad whereas no intervention was administered to the patients in the control group. Then, the State Anxiety Inventory and the Numerical Pain Rating Scale were administered again to the patients in both groups successively after the third and fourth hours in the postoperative period. Results: After the second hour in the postoperative period, the difference between the mean pain or state anxiety levels of the two groups were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). On the other hand, after the third and fourth hours in the postoperative period, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that the inhalation of peppermint oil after lumbar discectomy surgery reduced pain and anxiety levels.

    Evaluation of knowledge, attitude, and awareness of liver transplant patients toward xenotransplantation
    (Wiley, 2024) Dogan, Bahar Aslan; Ozden, Gurkan; Dolu, Sevim; Mese, Mesut; Akbulut, Sami
    Background: Xenotransplantation (XTx) is an alternative treatment for organ scarcity. Investigating the acceptance of XTx among patients from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds is essential. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of XTx among patients undergoing liver transplant (LT). Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between November 2022 and August 2023. The study population comprised LT patients aged >= 18 years who were admitted to the hepatology clinic of a university hospital in Turkey. Of the 360 patients (n = 360) interviewed, 351 were deemed eligible for inclusion. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, median, standard deviation, minimum-maximum, number, percentage, and Pearson's chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results: Of the patients, 78.3% were religious and adhered to religious requirements, and 87.2% considered their religious beliefs when making important decisions. In all, 41.3% of the participants believed that organ or tissue transplantation from animals to humans is ethical, while 70.1% of the participants believed that organ and tissue transplantation from non-halal animals to humans was impossible. Specifically, 56.7% would not allow organ or tissue transplantation from a non-halal animal to themselves or a relative. Knowledge and attitude towards XTx were not affected by transplantation type (p > .05), but were affected by sex and educational level (p < .05). Conclusion: This study found that LT patients generally oppose XTx. To enhance knowledge and awareness, religious leaders and healthcare professionals should organize comprehensive and effective seminars on this topic.
