The study was conducted to determine the experiences of patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty regarding the noise they were exposed to in the operating room and recovery unit.

Clinical reasoning is essential in nursing for making informed decisions in complex health care environments. Frameworks such as Script Theory assist nurses in organizing knowledge into "scripts," which support pattern recognition, data interpretation, and uncertainty handling. While Script Concordance Tests have proven effective in nursing education, their application in the ongoing professional development, particularly in specialized areas such as postanesthesia care, has not been widely explored. The purpose of this study was to develop the Postanesthesia Nursing Script Concordance Test (PaNSCT) and to assess its validity.

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common complications in surgical patients during the first 24 hours after general anesthesia. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of cold application on early PONV and antiemetic drug requirements.

This study aimed to compare the sedoanalgesic efficacy and side effects between propofol-ketamine and propofol-fentanyl combinations in short gynecological procedures for increasing surgical analgesia and improving patient comfort.

Anxiety following thyroid surgery adversely impacts the recovery process and the reintegration of patients into everyday life activities. This study aims to assess the impact of e-mobile training, structured according to the Life Model, on anxiety level and daily living activities in patients who have undergone thyroidectomy.

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of preoperatively administered erector spinae plane (ESP) block, applied either before or after anesthesia induction, on recovery quality, anxiety, and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing elective lumbar disk hernioplasty.

This study aimed to determine effects of abdominal massage (AM) on bowel activity and pulmonary function test results in older patients after surgery.

The management of surgical anesthesia in elderly patients presents significant challenges due to age-related physiological decline and the high prevalence of chronic diseases. This study aimed to optimize anesthesia management by exploring the dose-dependent effects of dexmedetomidine on perioperative stability and postoperative recovery.

To evaluate the effects of a preoperative telenursing program on preoperative stress and surgical cancellation rates in oncological patients.

Sleep disturbances are common, particularly in the perioperative setting, where they negatively impact postoperative recovery for patients. However, a thorough bibliometric analysis of perioperative sleep disturbances has yet to be conducted. We seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the current landscape, significant areas of interest, and emerging trends in this field.

To synthesize evidence on the initiation of prescription medications, over-the-counter substances, illicit substances, and other coping mechanisms among graduate nursing and health science students, medical students, and medical residents during training. The review also sought to identify predisposing personal and academic factors, as well as school-related stressors, influencing substance use.

Total knee arthroplasty is a common orthopedic surgery that can cause anxiety, shivering, and hemodynamic changes in patients. The study aimed to compare the effects of a combination of valerian and Melissa officinalis (Norogol) with clonidine on anxiety, hemodynamic changes, and shivering in total knee replacement.
