    (Wiley, 2023) Gunes, Huseyin; Saritas, Serdar; Ozdemir, Ahmet; Bulbul, Ali Savas
    Background: This study was designed to examine the effect of guided imagery applied to geriatric orthopaedic patients on preoperative anxiety and comfort.Methods: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. The population of the study consisted of geriatric patients treated in the orthopaedics and traumatology clinic of a university hospital. The sample consisted of 80 patients, including the experimental group (n = 40) and the control group (n = 40). Personal Descriptive Form, The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and General Comfort Scale were used as data collection tools.Results: After the guided imagery application, it was determined that the anxiety of the experimental group decreased statistically significantly, and their comfort improved (P < 0.05).Conclusion: After the imagery, it was determined that the patients in the experimental group had a decrease in their anxiety level and an improvement in their comfort. Since it is a low-cost and easily accessible method, applying imagery in the preoperative period is recommended.

    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, Serdar
    BackgroundThe 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.

    The effect of kinesiophobia on gastrointestinal disorders in patients with lower extremity orthopedic surgery
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2025) Gunes, Huseyin; Bulbuloglu, Semra; Saritas, Serdar; Ozdemir, Ahmet
    Background Postoperative kinesiophobia and gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are common and undesirable conditions following orthopedic surgery. Additionally, managing both conditions is crucial for preventing complications and accelerating recovery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of kinesiophobia on GI disorders after lower extremity orthopedic surgery. Method This study was conducted with a descriptive and cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of a total of n = 299 patients who underwent orthopedic surgery in their lower extremities at the orthopedics and traumatology clinic of a research and training hospital located in Turkey. A personal information form, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) were used to collect data, and the obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), paired-samples t-test, and post hoc tests when necessary. Results While 24.4% of the patients were aged 65-74 years, 51.5% were male. The mean total TSK score of the patients was above average (49.36 +/- 8.74), while their mean total GSRS score was below average (31.22 +/- 11.7). In our study, as kinesiophobia increased, the frequency of bowel movements decreased, and kinesiophobia explained 19.9% of the variance in GI disorders (p < 0.05). Conclusions Kinesiophobia is a significant predictor of GI disorders in patients who underwent lower extremity surgery. Returning to normal GI function after surgery is crucial for preventing complications in patients with lower extremity surgery. Uncontrolled kinesiophobia after surgery exacerbates GI disorders. Therefore, early diagnosis and management of both kinesiophobia and GI disorders are necessary for rapid recovery in patients with lower extremity surgery.

    The Relationship Between Postoperative Spiritual Well-Being and Sleep Quality and Comfort in Patients Undergoing Lung Cancer Surgery in Türkiye
    (Wiley, 2026) Cici, Remziye; Ozdemir, Ahmet; Kizilkaya, Gulnaz; Saritas, Serdar
    This study was conducted to determine the relationship between postoperative spiritual well-being and sleep quality and comfort in patients with lung cancer. This descriptive, relationship-seeking study was carried out at the Thoracic Surgery Clinic of a university hospital in T & uuml;rkiye between February 1 and July 31, 2023. The sample consisted of 252 patients who had undergone lung cancer surgery and were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, General Sleep Quality Scale, Spiritual Well-Being Scale, and General Comfort Scale. In statistical analysis, number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test in independent groups, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U tests. The Pearson correlation test was used to determine relationships between scale score averages (p < 0.05). The patients ' mean spiritual well-being score was 119.15 +/- 12.35, their mean sleep quality score was 42.97 +/- 19.73, and their mean general comfort score was 2.58 +/- 0.40. While a low positive relationship was found between spiritual well-being and sleep quality (r = 0.217, p = 0.01), no relationship was found with comfort (r = -0.110, p = 0.88). Patients exhibited high levels of spiritual well-being, reasonable comfort, and moderate sleep quality. Higher spiritual well-being was associated with better sleep quality, while no significant association was observed between spiritual well-being and comfort. These findings underscore the importance of integrating interventions that support spiritual well-being to achieve improved sleep outcomes in patients.

    The Relationship between Postoperatively Thirst and Fatigue Level in Bariatric Surgery Patients: A Correlational Descriptive Study
    (Marmara Univ, Inst Health Sciences, 2026) Kavak, Mustafa; Ozdemir, Ahmet; Saritas, Serdar; Bulbuloglu, Semra
    Objective: Bariatric surgical treatment options have been used to achieve weight loss. Patients often experience thirst and fatigue postoperatively. Thirst is considered a relatively minor complication during the postoperative phase, and there are a limited number of studies on its effects on patients. The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between thirst and fatigue levels of patients after bariatric surgery. Methods: This study was conducted in the General Surgery Clinic of a University Hospital in East of T & uuml;rkiye between June 2022 and July 2023. The study was completed with 284 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The Descriptive Characteristics Form, Numerical Rating Scale and Brief Fatigue Inventory were used in the study. Results: The patients had high levels of thirst and fatigue. A statistically significant positive correlation (r=0.623) was found between thirst and fatigue levels (p<.001). Regression analysis indicated that thirst explained 37% of the variance in fatigue. It can be asserted that as the thirst level of the patients increased, so did their fatigue levels. Conclusion: The study revealed that bariatric surgery patients suffered from postoperative thirst, which was significantly associated with higher fatigue levels. It is recommended that nurses evaluate the thirst-related fatigue experienced by bariatric surgery patients postoperatively.
