The investigation of standing conditions of patients after surgery

ABSTRACT THE INVESTIGATION OF STANDING CONDITIONS OF PATIENTS AFTER SURGERY In this study, the investigation of standing conditions of patients after surgery planned. Two hundred-six(206) patients who underwent cholecystectomy surgery in the Balikesir State Hospital between February 2017-June 2017 were found eligible and included in the study. Data were collected with questionnaire technique between the dates of February 2017- June 2017. The data were collected by using the questionnaire consisting of 38 questions about the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients developed by the researcher according to the literature and the factors affecting post-operative ambulation and ambulation factors. face-to-face interviewing was used to collect the data. In evaluating the data; Number, Percentage, Mean, Minimum, Maximum, Standard Deviation, Fisher's Exact test, Paired Samples t test, chi-square test was assessed using the SPSS 18.0 version (Statistical Package for Social Scientists). According to research data; it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the pre-ambulation and post-ambulation survival data of the patients. There was no statistically significant difference between abdominal distension values and early leg elevation of the patients included in the study (p>0.05). According to research data; the mean age of the patients was 51.34 ± 12.56 and the min ± max values were 18.00 ± 65.00, 35.9% of the patients were in the 60-65 age group, 51.0% were female, 89.8% were married, 58.7% were primary school graduates and 44.7% were housewife, 67.5% had not use medication, 20.4% had used antihypertensive drugs, 44.2% did exercise , 63.1% had previously surgery, and 79.6% of the patients had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It was found that 61.7% of the patients had surgery period between 31-60 minutes, 85.9% had left the operation between 0-12 hours, 96.6% stayed in the intensive care between 0-12 hours, 72.8% were hungry between 7-12 hours, 94.2% had no urinary catheters, 73.8% had no drains, and 99.0% received parenteral fluid therapy. It was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the before ambulation and after ambulation vital signs data of the patients. There was no statistically significant difference between abdominal distension values and early ambulation of the patients included in the study (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between early ambulation and the pain status of the patients included in the study (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between early ambulation and the operation type (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between early ambulation and nausea of the patients included in the study (p>0.05). In conclusion our results suggest that before and ambulation between vital signs were determined, but ambulation was found to be ineffective on abdominal distension, constipation, pain status, operation type, nausea status.
