Effect of Active and Passive Heating Methods Used in Different Areas of Perioperative Processes on Thermal Comfort and Anxiety: A Randomized Control Trial

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the effects of active and passive heating methods applied in different parts perioperative process on thermal comfort, anxiety, vital signs. Design: with patients admitted for open abdominal surgery between October 1, 2018 January 10, 2019. Patients were randomly allocated into three groups as follows: Group A (n = 33), B C (control group; n 33). Methods: is a randomized, pretest–posttest controlled experimental design. Intervention gowns blowing warm air used intervention tools. Procedural care (Group C) received routine hospital care. Vital signs, anxiety levels evaluated. Findings: Compared those B, A, comfort higher lower. The highest body temperature seen A. No difference noted blood pressure values groups. pulse Groups significantly Conclusion: use had positive effect patients’
