Öğe The effect of Acupressure and Reiki application on Patient's pain and comfort level after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A randomized controlled trial(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Topdemir, Esra Anus; Saritas, SerdarBackground: The aim of the study was to examine the effect of Acupressure and Reiki application on patient's pain and comfort level after Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and methods: In this prospective, single blinded randomized controlled trial, subjects were 132 adult patients, hospitalized in the General Surgery clinics and underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy of a Training and Research Hospital in Turkey. Subjects were then assigned including a Reiki group of 44 persons, an Acupressure group of 44 persons, and a control group of 44 persons. The pain and comfort levels of all the patients, before and after the Acupressure and Reiki treatments in the experimental group, and without any intervention in the control groups were determined at the 3rd postoperative hour, using Pain on Visual Analogue Scale (Pain on VAS), Perianesthesia Comfort Scale (PCS) and General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ). The data analyses were performed using descriptive statistics, Shapiro Wilk test, paired samples t-test, Mann Whitney U test, ANOVA and LSD multiple comparison tests, Kruskal Wallis test and Wilcoxon test. Results: In the patients who received reiki and acupressure treatment, the pain level decreased, comfort level increased and the difference between the groups was found to be significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Reiki and Acupressure applied to the patients after Laparoscopic cholecystectomy decreased the pain and increased the comfort level.Öğe The effect of acupressure on postoperative pain of lumbar disc hernia: A quasi-experimental study(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018) Tanriverdi, Seher; Saritas, Serdar[Abstract Not Available]Öğe The effect of bed exercises following major abdominal surgery on early ambulation, mobilization, pain and anxiety: A randomized-controlled trial(Wiley, 2024) Yaban, Zuleyha Simsek; Bulbuloglu, Semra; Kapikiran, Gurkan; Gunes, Huseyin; Sahin, Sennur Kula; Saritas, SerdarThis randomized-controlled trial aimed to investigate the effect of bed exercises on postoperative anxiety, pain, early ambulation and mobilization. This study was conducted with a randomized-controlled trial design and in the general surgical clinic of a research and training hospital. A total of 120 patients (60 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group) scheduled for major abdominal surgery took part in the study. The data were collected using a patient information form, the Anxiety Specific to Surgery Questionnaire and the Visual Analog Scale through face-to-face interviews. The patients in the experimental group performed 15-min bed exercises on the day of their operation, as well as on the postoperative first and second days, and the control group underwent only the routinely performed procedures in the clinic. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance and t-tests. The sample of our study included major abdominal surgery patients. Ambulation was achieved at a mean time of 4 h earlier in the experimental group. On the postoperative first and second days, the patients in the experimental group had mean mobilization durations that were approximately 2 h longer compared with the patients in the control group. Moreover, the postoperative pain and anxiety levels of the patients in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the patients in the control group (p < 0.05). We recommend that bed exercises be performed to lower anxiety and pain severity, achieve early ambulation and increase the duration of mobilization among patients following major abdominal surgery.Öğe Effect of Classic Foot Massage on Vital Signs, Pain, and Nausea/Vomiting Symptoms After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2018) Cankaya, Askeri; Saritas, SerdarThis semiexperimental study on the effects of foot massage recruited 88 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the general surgery clinics of our hospital in Turkey (June 2017 to May 2018). Patients were assigned to either the intervention group (n=44, 10 min of classic foot massage) or the control group (n=44, no intervention). Pretest assessment, intervention, and posttest assessment were conducted within 1 to 6 hours postoperatively. Outcome measures included vital signs, pain, and nausea/vomiting symptoms. The intervention was associated with a significant decrease in pain scores and incidence of nausea. Despite being associated with an increase in body temperature, the intervention was also associated with a decrease in systolic blood pressure without increasing diastolic blood pressure or respiratory rate, suggesting a positive effect on blood circulation. Classic foot massage may serve as an affordable and useful way to help improve pain, nausea, and blood circulation after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Öğe The Effect of Comedy Films on Postoperative Pain and Anxiety in Surgical Oncology Patients(Karger, 2019) Saritas, Serdar; Genc, Hasan; Okutan, Serafettin; Inci, Ramazan; Ozdemir, Ahmet; Kizilkaya, GulnazObjectives: To determine the effect of watching Turkish comedy films on postoperative pain and anxiety in oncology surgical patients. Design: This study was conducted using a pre- and post-test randomized controlled trial model. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in a general surgery clinic of a hospital in eastern Turkey between January 2016 and January 2017. The sample of the study consisted of 88 patients (44 test, 44 control) selected by using the randomized sampling method. In the experimental group, funny videos from Turkish old comedy movies were watched for 10 min before surgery. Anxiety, measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and vital signs were measured before and after the experimental protocol. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, chi(2) and t test were used. Results: The state-trait anxiety pre- and post-test mean score of the experimental group was found to be 39.59 +/- 3.66 and 37.54 +/- 3.52 before and after watching the video, respectively, indicating a statistically significant difference between these two values (p <= 0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the pre- and post-test state-trait anxiety scores of the patients in the control group. The decrease from the pre- to post-test mean pain score was determined as 0.65 +/- 1.05 in the experimental group and 0.11 +/- 0.96 in the control group. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups' post-test mean pain scores (p <= 0.05). Conclusion: The study results suggest that watching Turkish comedy movie videos has a positive effect on postoperative pain and anxiety in surgical oncology patients.Öğe The effect of guided imagery on postoperative pain and comfort of geriatric orthopaedic patients: a randomized controlled trial(Wiley, 2023) Ozdemir, Ahmet; Gunes, Huseyin; Saritas, SerdarBackgroundThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of guided imagery on postoperative pain and comfort in geriatric orthopedics patients. MethodsThis study was carried out with a randomized-controlled true experimental design. The population of the study included geriatric patients receiving treatment at the orthopedics and traumatology inpatient clinic of a university hospital. Based on random selection, the sample consisted of total of 102 patients, including 40 patients in the experimental group and 40 in the control group. The data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Visual Analog Scale, and the General Comfort Questionnaire. ResultsAfter the guided imagery intervention, the pain levels of the experimental group significantly decreased compared to their baseline pain levels (t = 4.002, P = 0.00). Their perceived comfort was also significantly improved (t = -5.428, P = 0.00). Although the perceived comfort of the control group decreased, this decrease was not statistically significant (t = 0.698, P = 0.489). ConclusionIt is recommended that guided imagery, which is an inexpensive and accessible method, be integrated into the nursing care process to reduce the pain and increase the comfort of geriatric orthopedics patients.Öğe Effect of hand massage on pain and anxiety in patients after liver transplantation: A randomised controlled trial(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Demir, Bilsev; Saritas, SerdarObjectives: This study aimed to determine the effects of hand massage on postoperative pain, and anxiety levels in liver transplant patients. Methods: This study was a randomised clinical trial. The study sample comprised 80 adult patients who had liver transplantation: 40 experimental and 40 control group. In the experimental group, the researcher performed hand massage. No treatment was performed in the control group. To analyse the data, descriptive statistics, a chisquared test, a t-test for dependent groups, and a t-test for independent groups were used. Results: According to hand massage follow-ups after liver transplantation, the mean scores of pain intensity and anxiety levels was lower, with a statistical significance in the experimental group compared with the control group in all measurements before and after hand massage (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The hand massage applied to liver transplant patients positively affected and decreased the severity of pain, and anxiety levels.Öğe The Effect of Immunosuppressant Therapy Adherence on the Comfort of Liver Transplant Recipients(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2021) Saritas, Serdar; ozdemir, AhmetInadequate immunosuppressive therapy causes rejection, whereas an overdose may lead to infections or malignancy to affect a patient's life and comfort. This study used a descriptive correlational design to determine how compliance with immunosuppressive therapy affected the well-being of liver transplant patients. The study was conducted in the liver transplant unit of a university hospital with 103 patients who underwent liver transplant surgery. The target population included patients who received treatment in liver transplant clinics between July 2016 and August 2017. Mean age of the patients in the study was 44.66 +/- 14.86 years and the time after transplant was 15.48 +/- 16.90 months on the average. A significant difference was found between mean General Comfort Scale scores according to the variable of adherence status (t = 6.898, p < .05). Simple linear regression analysis showed a positive moderate, significant correlation between the adherence variable and mean General Comfort Scale scores (R = 0.543, p < .001). It was found that the patients who adhered to immunosuppressive therapy experienced higher levels of comfort. Therefore, arrangements to improve patient adherence to therapy, hence comfort, are recommended, as well as periodic evaluations of patient comfort levels.Öğe The effect of lavender oil on anxiety levels of patients before laparoscopic cholecystectomy(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018) Saritas, Serdar; Kavak, Funda; Savas, Birgul[Abstract Not Available]Öğe The effect of long-term immunosuppressive therapy on gastrointestinal symptoms after kidney transplantation(Elsevier, 2022) Bulbuloglu, Semra; Gunes, Huseyin; Saritas, SerdarObjective: We examined the relationship between compliance with long-term immunosuppressive therapy after kidney transplantation and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in patients discharged from hospitals in this study. Method: Our study was conducted as a descriptive study with the participation of 114 kidney transplant recipients discharged from the organ transplant center of a training and research hospital. Personal Information Form, Immunosuppressive Therapy Compliance Scale and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale were used in data collection. The data analysis was performed with IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 25. Results: According to the findings, 47.4% of kidney transplant patients were between the ages of 46 and 64, and 80.7% of them were male. 41.2% of kidney recipients used immunosuppressive agents between 91 days and 6 months. Compliance with immunosuppressive therapy was similar in all age groups. It was determined that the recipients between the ages of 18 and 30 experienced GI symptoms the most. In terms of the predictors of GI symptoms, it was determined that mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was effective in the development of reflux and diarrhoea, cyclosporine in the development of diarrhoea and constipation, and tacrolimus in the development of indigestion, which are (p < 0.05). Conclusion: For kidney recipients to have high compliance with immunosuppressive therapy, it is of great importance that they are able to cope with GI symptoms. Our study showed that GI symptoms increase in direct proportion as the duration of immunosuppressive therapy is prolonged and the level of compliance increases. GI symptoms of kidney transplant patients should be recognized, and recipients should be helped to manage those problems.Öğe The effect of nomophobic behavior of nurses working at surgical clinics on time management and psychological well-being(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2020) Bulbuloglu, Semra; Ozdemir, Ahmet; Kapikiran, Gurkan; Saritas, SerdarObjective: This study examined the effects of nomophobic behaviors of surgical nurses on time management and psychological well-being.Background: Addicted use of smartphones in the working environment is a social disease defined as nomophobia.Methods: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of listening to music on pain, analgesic use and physiological states on Turkish people with myocardial infarction. Methods: This study was a non-randomized controlled clinical trial and was conducted in a coronary intensive care unit in a university hospital. The study was conducted with a total of 500 patients; 250 in the experimental group; 250 in the control group; participants were aged between 18 and 79 years; and able to speak, read and write Turkish. The control group received routine care after myocardial infarction while the experimental group listened instrumental Turkish classical music for 30 min in coronary intensive care. The choice of music was made by the researchers. The music, a classical instrumental Turkish music, (Zirgillemakamt) was soft, relaxing, and included instrumental melodies of 60-80 beats per minute (bpm) and was for 30 min with a volume of 50-60 dB. Face-to-face interviews and then Personal Sociodemographic characteristics and Visual Analog Scale were used to collect data. Results: After the music listening, pain, analgesic use, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse averages of the patients were decreased and oxygen saturation averages between the groups were increased and differences between groups was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions: These findings support the use of music as an independent nursing intervention to manage pain, analgesic use and physiological states in patients after myocardial infarction. Listening to music during and after myocardial infarction can effectively reduce pain, analgesic use, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse levels. Thus listening music may be a useful tool for coronary intensive care nursing.
