Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the applied postgraduate thesis studies in the field of gynecologic and obstetric surgery in Turkey. The study is retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive. The keywords "Gynecological Surgery", "Obstetric Surgery", "Cesarean section", "Hysterectomy", "Vaginoplasty", "Vaginal Repair", "Ovarian Cyst Surgery", "Uterine Prolapse", "Endometriosis", "Myemoctomy", which were obtained in line with the literature, were scanned by typing into the database of the National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education. In accordance with the inclusion criteria of the study, 23 theses in the field of midwifery and nursing, which did not have an oncologic procedure, the full text of which could be accessed, and implemented between 1995 and 2023 were included in the evaluation. In the theses, the effects of counseling, health education and support programs provided during the perioperative process within the scope of midwifery and nursing care protocol on sexual, psychosocial and physiological problems that may be encountered were examined. In addition, chewing gum, in-bed exercise, hot application, warm water drinking were included in the management of postoperative gastrointestinal symptoms, while thermal blankets and heated irrigation fluids were practiced for the management of unwanted perioperative hypothermia. It may be recommended to increase the number of multidisciplinary randomized controlled studies to emphasize the professional roles of midwives and nurses.

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de jinekolojik ve obstetrik cerrahi alanında yapılan uygulamalı lisansüstü tez çalışmalarını belirlemektir. Çalışma retrospektif, kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı niteliktedir. Literatür doğrultusunda elde edilen “Jinekolojik Cerrahi”, “Obstetrik Cerrahi”, “Sezaryen”, “Histerektomi”, “Vajinoplasti”, “Vajinal Onarım”, “Over Kist Cerrahisi”, “Uterin Prolapsus”, “Endometriozis”, “Myemoktomi” anahtar kelimeleri Yükseköğretim Kurulu Ulusal Tez Merkezi veri tabanına yazılarak taranmıştır. Çalışmanın dahil edilme kriterleri doğrultusunda, onkolojik bir işlem içermeyen, tam metnine ulaşılabilen, 1995-2023 yılları arasında uygulanmış ebelik ve hemşirelik alanında 23 tez değerlendirmeye alındı. Tezlerde, ebelik ve hemşirelik bakım protokolü kapsamında perioperatif süreçte verilen danışmanlık, sağlık eğitimi ve destek programlarının karşılaşılabilecek cinsel, psikososyal ve fizyolojik sorunlar üzerindeki etkileri incelendi. Ayrıca postoperatif gastrointestinal semptomların yönetiminde sakız çiğneme, yatak içi egzersiz, sıcak uygulama, ılık su içme yer alırken, istenmeyen perioperatif hipotermi yönetimi için termal battaniye ve ısıtılmış irrigasyon sıvıları uygulanmıştır. Ebe ve hemşirelerin profesyonel rollerini vurgulamak için multidisipliner randomize kontrollü çalışmaların sayısının artırılması önerilebilir.
