Summary

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of HRU and HG on patient outcomes in the care process in surgical patients followed according to MEUSS. The sample of the study, which was conducted as a randomized-controlled clinical trial, consisted of 252 patients who underwent surgical intervention under general anesthesia in a university hospital between 29 July 2022 and 31 October 2022.

Detailed description

Postoperative patients are at risk of clinical worsening and minimizing this is vital. Nurses play a vital role in the early detection and management of clinical deterioration as they are the group of professionals with the highest patient contact. MEUSS is stated as a simple risk management tool based on physiological parameters that can allow early detection of clinical deterioration and initiation of the relevant intervention, improving the quality of care and patient safety provided to surgical patients. In this study, with a larger sample, patients will be followed up with MEUSS and a nursing guide for 2 hours in the clinic where they are transferred both after and after ASBU. Our study is a research with the highest sample in this field, in which patients are followed for the longest period of time, and it is thought that MEUSS and nursing guide applications can identify risky patients in the postoperative period and reduce postoperative complications with strict follow-up applied to these patients. The aim of this study; To determine the effect of Nursing Guide Practice (HRU) and Nursing Interventions (HG) on patient outcomes in the care process in surgical patients followed according to MEUSS.
