Animation Education Program Applied to Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Patients

Objectives This study investigated the effect of animation education developed for respiratory rehabilitation among sleeve gastrectomy patients on patient care results.

Design This is a randomized controlled study. Method A total of 66 patients who were going to have sleeve gastrectomy were randomly divided into two groups each including 33 participants. The intervention group was provided with animation education. The control group received routine face-to-face education. Postoperative risk of respiratory complications, presence of dyspnea, nausea, and vomiting, frequency of postoperative respiratory exercises, and satisfaction with postoperative respiratory education were examined. Patients' pain and sleep quality were examined one day before the surgery and on the postoperative first and fifth days.

Primary outcomes

Visual Analog Scale

Time frame: until the treatment is completed,an average of 5 days

Pain levels Visual Analog Scale (VAS): The VAS was used to evaluate the severity of pain in patients. VAS is a 10 cm ruler that shows no pain on one edge and unbearable pain on the other edge. Therefore, patients are asked to evaluate their pain between 0 "no pain" and 10 "unbearable pain." They show the severity of their pain using a sign on that ruler. The point indicated by the patient is recorded from the starting point of 0. VAS is an understandable and easily applicable scale to evaluate the pain levels of patients
Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ)

Time frame: until the treatment is completed,an average of 5 days

Sleep quality Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) The scale was developed by Richards in 1987. Its Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Özlü and Özer in 2015. RCSQ evaluates the depth of night sleep, time to fall asleep, frequency of awakening, time awake when awakened, sleep quality, and the noise level in the environment. The scale consists of 6 questions. Each item is scored between 0 and 100 using the VAS. A score of 0-25 points obtained from the scale indicates very bad sleep and 76-100 indicates very good sleep.
