    Effects of liver transplantation on sexual function and quality of life
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Karabulut, Neziha; Koras, Kezban; Gurcayir, Dilek
    This descriptive study aimed to determine patients' sexual dysfunction and quality of life before and after liver transplantation. The study was conducted with 64 patients who underwent liver transplantation at a university hospital between January 2015 and 2019. The patients were aged 18 or over, able to answer relevant questions and volunteered to participate in the study. The population of the study included patients who underwent liver transplantation on the specified dates and agreed to participate in the study. Descriptive Characteristics Form, Short Form-36 (SF-36), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) were used for data collection. A significant increase was found in all subscale scores of males on the IIEF scale after transplantation (p = 0.000). The total FSFI score of the females was 24.27 +/- 18.60 before transplantation and 29.62 +/- 25.19 after transplantation. The results were not statistically significant (p = 0.072). After transplantation, a highly significant increase was observed in the Physical Component Summary and Mental Component Summary subscale scores of the SF-36 both in males and females (p = 0.000). An increase was observed in the sexual functions of males and females after transplantation. A statistically significant increase was found in the mean scores of both males and females on the quality of life after transplantation (p = 0.000). This study concluded that sexual functions of male (p < 0.05) and female (p > 0.05) patients improved after transplantation.

    The Effect of Foot Massage on Postoperative Pain and Anxiety Levels in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Experimental Study
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2019) Koras, Kezban; Karabulut, Neziha
    Purpose: This study determined the effect of foot massage on postoperative pain and anxiety levels in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Methods: This study was conducted in a general surgery clinic of a university hospital between May 2016 and March 2018. The research sample consisted of 167 patients (85 in the experimental group and 82 in the control group) who met the research inclusion criteria. Findings: The pain intensity of patients in the experimental group was less than in the control group at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after intervention (P < .05). A significant reduction was determined in the need for analgesics for the patients in the experimental group compared with the control group (P < .05). A significant positive relationship was found between pain intensity and state anxiety levels in patients of the experimental group. Conclusions: Foot massage decreased postoperative pain and anxiety levels in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.
