    The Effect of Nurse Telephone Consultation After Coronary Artery Bypass on the Autonomy Level of Elderly Patients: A Quasi-Experimental Study
    (Galenos Yayincilik, 2021) Digin, Figen; Findik, Ummu Yildiz
    Objective: The effect of nurse telephone consultations was determined on the autonomy levels of elderly patients after coronary artery bypass surgery in this quasi-experimental study. Methods: This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental research investigation from December 25, 2015, to January 10, 2017, at the cardiovascular surgery clinic of a university hospital and included 64 patients (32 cases, 32 control group patients). The data were collected using the patient descriptive form, The Functional Autonomy Measurement System, Discharge Information Guide, and The Telephone Consultation Follow-Up Form. The patients in the case group were provided with nurse telephone consultations six weeks after discharge. The Functional Autonomy Measurement System was re-administered to all patients at the end of six weeks. The necessary ethical and institutional approvals were obtained before the study. Results: The mean age of the patients was 69.96 (+/- 4.94) years, 76.56% (n=49) were males, 85.9% (n=55) were married, and 73.43% (n=47) were primary school graduates. The mean autonomy score (-4.04 +/- 2.52) and the autonomy level of daily life activities of the patients (-2.20 +/- 1.71) in the case group (p=0.000) were significantly higher at the end of six weeks (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nurse telephone consultations increased the autonomy level of elderly patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.

    Effect of Sending SMS, Which Reminds About the Intake of Medication, on Reducing Postoperative Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Cataract Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2022) Digin, Figen; Ozkan, Zeynep Kizilcik; Sahin, Ayse
    Purpose: Patients undergoing cataract surgery find postoperative medication management difficult and are anxious about this issue. Differences in the number of medications and frequency of administration can lead to confusion in patients. The aim of this randomized-controlled study was to evaluate the effect of sending short message service (SMS) texts, to reminds patients about need to take postoperative medications, on reducing postoperative anxiety in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Design: The randomized, controlled study. Methods: The patients in the experimental group received short message service reminders on the first to the seventh days postoperatively. Findings: The SMS group was found to have significantly lower State Anxiety Inventory mean scores than the control group on the seventh postoperative day (P = .001). The majority (82.9%) of patients were satisfied with receiving an SMS reminder. Conclusions: In this study, SMS reminders may be effective in decreasing postoperative anxiety for patients undergoing cataract surgery and this intervention was welcomed by patients.

    Intensive Care Experiences of Postoperative Patients
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2022) Digin, Figen; Ozkan, Zeynep Kizilcik; Kalayci, Eda
    Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the intensive care experience of postoperative patients. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between February and May 2021 with the participation of 75 surgical intensive care patients. Data were collected using the patient identification form and The Intensive Care Experiences Scale (ICES). Shapiro-Wilks test, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Bonferroni Corrected Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation analysis were used in analyzing the data. Results: The mean patient age was 62.8 +/- 14.9 year (min: 23 and max: 95); 53.3% (n =40) were male. The patients' mean length of stay in the intensive care unit was 1.4 +1.0 days. The mean ICES score of the patients was 57.4 +/- 3.9. It was found that the patients' mean scores of the satisfaction with care subscale varied according to the surgical procedure applied, connection to mechanical ventilation, and status of seeing other individuals receiving treatment. Conclusions: Patients' intensive care experiences were partially positive. Being aware of the patients' experiences, supporting them in biopsychosocial aspects, and being in contact will contribute to the improvement of their postsurgical intensive care experience.

    Sleep Quality and Related Factors in Surgical Intensive Care Patients
    (Galenos Publ House, 2023) Ozkan, Zeynep Kizilcik; Digin, Figen; Kalayci, Eda
    Objective: This study determined the sleep quality of surgical intensive care patients and the affecting factors.Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted from April 2021 to January 2022 in the surgical intensive care unit of the university hospital. One hundred participants who met the inclusion criteria were included. The researcher completed the patient descriptive form and The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) by face-to-face interview.Results: The RCSQ total score of the patients was 39.3 +/- 14.4. Age, type of surgical performed, pain severity, stress score and environmental factors (lights of the intensive care setting, device sounds, ambient odor, ambient temperature, voices of other patients, and conversations of the intensive care unit staff) affected the quality of sleep of patients.Conclusion: Patients had poor sleep quality in the intensive care unit. Increasing the awareness of nurses and intensive care team members about the factors disrupting sleep quality and possible solutions, transferring the solutions to the clinic, and evaluating the results may improve the sleep quality of patients.
