Brief Summary

Treatment of obesity consists of diet/lifestyle modification and bariatric surgery consisting of several procedures. One of the most common complications in the early period after bariatric surgery is nausea and vomiting due to the reduction of gastric capacity. According to the guidelines of the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), acid-base disorders, electrolyte abnormalities (especially calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium and phosphorus deficiency), insufficiency of fat-soluble vitamins (ADEK), folic acid, iron, thiamine after bariatric surgery. and B12 deficiency etc. On the other hand, anxiety after bariatric surgery is also an important problem.

It is possible to reduce nausea and vomiting by stimulating the vagal nerve. Gargling, laughing, singing loudly, etc. The movements stimulate the vagus nerve by activating the muscles behind the larynx, and the vagus nerve prevents nausea and vomiting by simulating the gastrointestinal tract. With the activation of the diaphragm; The vagus nerve is stimulated, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated and cortisol production decreases, reducing stress and anxiety. The peppermint plant, which is widely used in our country, is also used as a relief in cases such as nausea, stomachache, and colds. It is expected that the nurse, who is a member of the multidisciplinary team, will be able to properly define the surgical risks and comorbidities associated with the clinical status of obesity in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery and to apply the necessary interventions.

Study Groups

Experimental

Consent of all patients will be obtained the night before surgery. Biochemical parameter levels and state trait anxiety scale and apfel risk scale will be recorded.

As it will be difficult for the experimental group to be oriented while giving mouthwash training after the surgery, mouthwash training will be given at a time when it is available the night before the operation. State anxiety scale, visual comparison scale and nausea and vomiting effect scale will be administered before discharge (approximately 48 hours). After discharge, he will continue to gargle in the same way 3 times a day. At the end of the first week, all patients will be called by the researcher and the state anxiety scale, visual comparison scale and nausea and vomiting effect scale shared on the digital environment will be filled and recorded. This process will continue for 4 weeks. In the last measurement, visual comparison scale, nausea vomiting and state trait anxiety scale will also be filled.

Control

Consent of all patients will be obtained the night before surgery. Biochemical parameter levels and state trait anxiety scale and apfel risk scale will be recorded.

The state anxiety scale, visual comparison scale and nausea and vomiting effect scale will be administered to the control group before they are discharged (approximately at the 48th hour). At the end of the first week, all patients will be called by the researcher, and the state anxiety scale, visual comparison scale and nausea and vomiting effect scale will be filled and recorded. This process will continue for 4 weeks. In the last measurement, visual comparison scale, nausea vomiting and state trait anxiety scale will also be filled. At the end of the first month, the biochemical parameters taken during the routine hospital control will be recorded.

Group Type: NO_INTERVENTION
