Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The research is planned as a randomized controlled experimental at Erzurum Atatürk University Health Application and Research Center.

The population of the research will include patients who come to the General Surgery Gastroenterology service for laparoscopic cholecystectomy between the specified dates and who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. In this research, 30 experimental and 30 control group patients will be included in the study in order to perform parametric tests.

The data of the research were prepared by the researcher using the literature and similar studies after obtaining ethics committee approval and written permission from the institution where the research would be conducted. "FR.3- Alertness and Sedation Observer Assessment Scale (OAA/S)" and Modified Aldrete Scoring, Awake and Sedation Observer Assessment Scale and "FR.4- MAS and OAA/S Scores Time-Dependent", which includes the Patient's Vital Signs, are used to evaluate the patient's condition. Patients determined by the "Change Table" will be collected by observing them before and after surgery.

In the research; In order to more easily overcome the anxiety and confusion that patients who have undergone surgical operations experience during the orientation process while waking up after the case, the patient will be given suggestions regarding the post-anesthesia waking period by testing the menthol smell in the preoperative period. When the patient hears the menthol scent applied during postoperative awakening; It is intended for the patient to remember that his surgery is over, that he needs to wake up and that the medical staff is waiting for him to wake up. In this way, it is thought that the patient's anxiety and complexity during the postoperative awakening period will be eliminated, the patient's vital signs will remain at an optimum level, and a more comfortable reanimation will occur.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental

On the day of the operation, patients will be given a menthol scent before the surgery. Data collection forms will be applied to the experimental group at specified intervals on the day of operation, at the clinic exit, before surgery, after surgery and in the recovery room (PACU). The day after the operation, a final interview will be held with the experimental group patients and questions will be asked about their experiences during the post-operative awakening process and these will be recorded.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The effect of suggestion given to patients with the olfactory memory method before the surgical operation on vital signs and systemic evaluation scoring during awakening.

Control

In the control group, which did not undergo any intervention, at the clinic exit on the day of the operation, vital values (pulse, blood pressure) were recorded at preoperative, postoperative and recovery room (PACU) intervals (Unit entrance, 5th minute, 10th minute, 15th minute and 20th minute). , body temperature, blood pressure and SpO2) will be taken. At the same time, the Modified Aldrete Score (MAS) and the Alertness and Sedation Observer Rating Scale (OSS/S) will be independently evaluated and recorded by the researcher.
