Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of early mobilization with consumption of tea, coffee, and warm water on bowel movements in patients who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.

Design: The study was a single-center, parallel, randomized, controlled trial. Setting: This study was carried out in the general surgery clinic of a university hospital in Türkiye.

Metod: The participants were randomized into four equal groups: tea, coffee, arm water and control. At the 4th hour postoperatively, the patients in the intervention group were first mobilized after drinking 200 ml of tea, coffee or warm water within 15 minutes. The first mobilization and oral intake of the patients in the control group started at the 8th hour. Bowel movements, mobilization time, first flatulence, first stool removal and hospital stay of the patients were followed up. Data were collected with "Patient Information Form", "Glasgow Coma Scale", "Patient Mobilization Follow-up Form" and "Patient Undergone Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery Follow-Up Form".

Hypothesis:

H0-a: Early mobilization and tea consumption have no effect on the first flatulence time in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.

H0-b: Early mobilization and coffee consumption have no effect on the first flatulence time in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

H0-c: Early mobilization and consumption of warm water have no effect on the initial flatulence time in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
