Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Effect size of 0.2 was predicted, the smallest possible significant correlation coefficient between repeated measurements was accepted as 0.3, and the minimum number of people to be included in the sample was calculated as 80, consisting of 40 patients from each group with a 95% confidence level, 5% margin of error and 80% power value. In case of possible data loss, drop out rate was accepted as 10% and 44 patients were included in each group.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental group
Patients in the experimental group will receive inhaled cold vapour.
nebulised distilled water
After the surgery, the patients will be admitted to the ward and taken to the bed, and their care and treatment will be applied by the nurse. Afterwards, the researcher will apply cold vapour as an inhaler for 15 minutes. For this application, the stand to which the ultrasonic nebuliser device is connected will be positioned close to the patient's bed. 200 ml of distilled water will be placed in the liquid reservoir of the device. The patient will be given a comfortable position and the device will be adjusted so that the steam hose covers the patient's mouth and nose and the patient will be allowed to inhale the steam through the mouth and nose. After the electrical connection of the device is provided, the device will be started and cold steam application will begin. In the 1st hour, inhaler cold water vapour application will be performed for 15 minutes.
Control group
Patients in the control group will not be intervened within the scope of the study.
No interventions assigned to this group
