Structured Education and Multidisciplinary Team

The patients in the training group were given structured training by a multidisciplinary team. After the content of the structured education was prepared, three experts were consulted for their opinions in terms of the scope and content. Necessary adjustments were made in line with their recommendations. Patients in this group were visited in their rooms at least 12 hours before undergoing surgery by a multidisciplinary team consisting of a surgeon, an anesthesiologist, and a nurse. The multidisciplinary team visited the patients at the same time and provided their education after introducing the team. Structured verbal education and written documents were given to the patients for 30 minutes on preoperative preparation, anesthesia, intubation, mobilization, deep breathing and coughing exercises, nutrition and fluid management, the postoperative recovery process, clinical practice guideline and operating room protocols.
