Summary

Surgical interventions are not only a physiological trauma, but also a psychological and social trauma because they cause deterioration of the individual's comfort. Comfort is among the most basic human needs and provides a better care output. One of the conditions that cause deterioration of comfort and anxiety in patients is hunger and thirst before surgery. Since 1994, several guides published by professional groups in many countries on pre-operative fasting periods have published that clear liquids can be taken up to 2 hours before the surgery in elective surgeries, and solid foods can be taken up to 6 hours before the surgery. One of the basic principles of ERAS protocols, which include evidence-based care interventions applied at all stages of the surgical process, for the preoperative period is to ensure that the patient takes a carbohydrate drink up to two hours before anesthesia and to shorten the long fasting period. In many countries, the problems experienced by patients as a result of long-term hunger have been identified. When the comfort status of the patients who were given carbohydrate-rich drinks before the surgery was examined, it was observed that the symptoms such as thirst, hunger, insufficiency, fatigue, nausea, pain, anxiety and depression were reduced and oral carbohydrate solutions were recommended. In the literature, it is stated that the prolongation of the fasting period causes an increase in the anxiety of the person and negatively affects his comfort, and it is recommended to drink 800 ml of carbohydrate liquid food until midnight the day before the surgery and 400 ml of liquid carbohydrate food 2-3 hours before the surgery in order to provide metabolic satiety. The nurse, who is one of the health workers responsible for the care of the patient, has to manage the restriction of oral food and liquid intake and the comfort of the patient in the best way before the operation. Accordingly, in our study, the answers were sought whether the oral carbohydrate solution given before hip arthroplasty had an effect on anxiety and patient comfort.
