Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Comfort
Time Frame: Comfort levels of the patients were measured on the morning of the first postoperative day (before mobilisation)
Measured using the "Immobilisation Comfort Scale". The total scores obtained from the scale vary between 20 and 120, and a high score indicates that the comfort is good.
Comfort levels of the patients were measured on the morning of the first postoperative day (before mobilisation)
Anxiety
Time Frame: postoperative day 1 before patients are mobilised
Measured with "State Anxiety Scale". The state anxiety section of the state trait anxiety scale was used. In the evaluation of the scale, all items are summed and this score is subtracted from the sum of the items marked as reversed and the number 50 is added to the result. The result is the state anxiety score. The total score that can be obtained from the scale is minimum 20 and maximum 80. The increase in the score in this range indicates that the anxiety level of the individual increases.
