The Effect of Rocking Chair Movement on the Start of Bowel Functions in Patients With Gastrointestinal System Surgery
The research will be carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study in patients with open gastrointestinal tract surgery in order to evaluate the effect of rocking chair movement to be given in addition to standard care in the initiation of postoperative bowel functions (post-operative first time gas, first time defecation).Ethics committee and institution permissions and written consents of individuals were obtained prior to the study.The universe of the study was composed of patients with open gastrointestinal surgery lying in the general surgery service of a hospital in Eskisehir. With the error margin of 0.05, 90% test power, 30 people in intervention and control groups, 60 patients in total will be included in the research.Appointment of patients to intervention and control groups was done by stratification and block randomization method according to gastric and intestinal surgery.The draw method was used to assign stratified patients to blind technique intervention and control groups in order to avoid side-holding, and an equal number (blocking) patients were assigned to each group. The individuals in the intervention group in the rocking chair three times a day, 20 minutes, a total of 60 minutes after the first day after surgery. The individuals in the control group will sit in a standard chair in the same time as the intervention group in the non-rocking chair. The data will be collected using the "Descriptive characteristics determination form", "Intervention Group Intestinal Functions Evaluation Form" and "Control Group Intestinal Functions Evaluation Form".
