Smell Memory Method for Patients Before Surgery

Sponsor: Ataturk University

Summary

The research is planned as a randomized controlled experimental at Erzurum Atatürk University Health Application and Research Center. The population of the research will include patients who come to the General Surgery Gastroenterology service for laparoscopic cholecystectomy between the specified dates and who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. In this research, 30 experimental and 30 control group patients will be included in the study in order to perform parametric tests. The data of the research were prepared by the researcher using the literature and similar studies after obtaining ethics committee approval and written permission from the institution where the research would be conducted. "FR.3- Alertness and Sedation Observer Assessment Scale (OAA/S)" and Modified Aldrete Scoring, Awake and Sedation Observer Assessment Scale and "FR.4- MAS and OAA/S Scores Time-Dependent", which includes the Patient's Vital Signs, are used to evaluate the patient's condition. Patients determined by the "Change Table" will be collected by observing them before and after surgery. In the research; In order to more easily overcome the anxiety and confusion that patients who have undergone surgical operations experience during the orientation process while waking up after the case, the patient will be given suggestions regarding the post-anesthesia waking period by testing the menthol smell in the preoperative period. When the patient hears the menthol scent applied during postoperative awakening; It is intended for the patient to remember that his surgery is over, that he needs to wake up and that the medical staff is waiting for him to wake up. In this way, it is thought that the patient's anxiety and complexity during the postoperative awakening period will be eliminated, the patient's vital signs will remain at an optimum level, and a more comfortable reanimation will occur.

Official title: Examining the Effect of the Suggestion Given to Patients With the Olfactory Memory Method Before the Surgical Operation on the Vital Signs and Systemic Evaluation Scoring During Awakening.
