Filter by:Women who will undergo vaginal examinations randomly assigned to intervention (n = 44) and control (n = 44) groups at a public hospital in Turkey will participate in the study. Stress ball application before vaginal examination will be explained to women in the intervention group. These women will be asked to tighten and loosen the stress ball given to them during the vaginal examination and continue this process until the examination is completed. Data regarding pain and anxiety outcomes will be collected before and after the examination. The main questions it aims to answer are: - question 1: What is the effect of stress ball application on women's anxiety level during vaginal examination? - question 2: What is the effect of stress ball application on women's pain level during vaginal examination?
Routine preoperative tests aim to identify asymptomatic diseases that can't be recognized by history and examination. Identification and management of these diseases is thought to help minimizing perioperative morbidity and mortality. A large number of routine screening tests increase the cost of perioperative care. Also unneeded tests may harm the patient due to overtreatment for borderline / false positive results. Therefore, the routine use of such examinations remains controversial. The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE-UK) guidelines for preoperative examination are the assessment standard developed by NICE in collaboration with the National Collaboration Center for Acute Care in the UK; in order to reduce unnecessary tests by recommending which tests should be offered to people before minor and major operations. The aim of this study is to assess the degree of adherence of the current preoperative tests at Kasr Alaini hospital to the NICE guidelines, to assess the effectiveness and usefulness of the current practice of various examinations ordered by anesthesiologists during the pre-anesthetic evaluation in patients who are intended for elective surgery in the hospital and to also evaluate the cause of delay & its effect to predict postoperative complications.
