Findings : The results were determined by the education level of the healthy lifestyle (F=6.06), the health perception by education level (F=7.71), smoking status (F=4.96), place of birth (F=3.79), occupation (F=4.01), showed that it differed significantly according to chronic disease (t=-2.18) and disease experience (t=-2.19). Preoperative self-efficacy total scores were also determined by educational status (F=3.78), preoperative information (t=2.30), age (F=4.33), marital status (t=2.72), number of children (F=2.59), previous It was found that there was a significant difference according to the state of being operated (t=-2.47) and the preoperative appetite (t=3.57). Postoperative self-efficacy total scores were found to differ significantly according to the place where they lived for the longest time (t=2.21) and education level (F=5.38). It was also observed that the preoperative and postoperative self-efficacy total scores differed significantly (t=-11.61) and the postoperative self-efficacy scores were significantly higher than preoperatively (all p's < 05).
