Official title

Evaluation of the Early Mobilization Protocol Established in Accordance With Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Guidelines in Patients Undergoing Gastrointestinal Surgery

Overview

In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the early mobilization protocol created in accordance with the accelerated recovery guide after surgery in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.

Detailed description

This study is an experimental study. The participants in the control group are applied to the mobilization applied in routine clinics. The participants in the intervention group are applied to the mobilization protocol created in accordance with the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines. It is planned to evaluate the postoperative mobilization process of both groups.

In this study, the researchers aimed to evaluate the early mobilization protocol created in accordance with the accelerated recovery guide after surgery in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.

Interventions

  • Procedure Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Early Mobilization Protocol
    The intervention is applied from the first day after surgery until discharge. (including the day of discharge).

Primary outcome measures

  • The effect of the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) early mobilization protocol on the number of steps taken daily after surgery [Time frame: From admission to discharge, up to 1 week]
  • The effect of the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) early mobilization protocol on the distance moved after surgery [Time frame: From admission to discharge, up to 1 week]
  • The effect of the ERAS early mobilization protocol on the recovery of the gastrointestinal system after surgery [Time frame: From admission to discharge, up to 1 week]
  • The effect of the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) early mobilization protocol on the level of ability to perform daily living activities after surgery [Time frame: (From admission to discharge, up to 1 week) and (When he comes for a check-up 1 week after discharge)]
